Since Google launched the Pixel 6, a lot has happened around these phones. On the one hand, we have come across a wide variety of bugs that, luckily, in most cases have been solved thanks to an update. However, there are other times when the errors have continued after several months and, as in this case, they have returned after being fixed.
The fingerprint sensor has not been one of the strong points in the Google Pixel 6 since the moment they were presented, rather it has been the Achilles heel of these smartphones. Both in the base model and in the Pro version, the Google Pixel 6 has left something to be desired in terms of the unlocking system . The bugs prevented us from being able to use the recognition system for months and after having fixed it, the problems return to the scene.
The June update destroys the fingerprint sensor
The problem that many have encountered once the update with the June patch has been completed has left those affected surprised. In forums and on social networks, complaints have reappeared around the fingerprint reader, revealing the corrections that Google itself had already made. We do not know the reason for this step backwards, but without a doubt it leaves a somewhat bitter taste in the mouth.
The error has been so prominent that it has even become one of the star topics of the Google forum itself . At the moment there is no official response from Google and none of the solutions to improve the screen reader that have been tried to carry out have helped the fingerprint recognition to return to what it was at some point.
After the update is complete, those affected explain that the problem is not the same as on other occasions, but is even more serious. Previously, the scanning time could suffer several times, forcing us to have to leave our finger on the reader for several seconds, but this time no matter how hard we try, it seems that it does not want us to use the phone and we must opt for the pattern. or safety pin.
The problem does not affect everyone equally
On the other side of the forum we run into those who do not understand the criticism at all because, in their case, the headache has been solved with the June patch. A very different situation for some Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro . This combination of possibilities has forced us to have to search and contrast the information. We have been able to test the error first-hand, so that it is completely clear to us that there are models where the system corrections that correspond to the month of June cause the annoying inconvenience.
If in your case the error already existed and has been resolved, you are one of the lucky ones, although seeing what happens with each new thing in the system, you should not be totally calm. With the next security patch, things could change and turn the fingerprint reader upside down so that errors become solutions or vice versa. Meanwhile, Google continues to work on the facial recognition system that will arrive with Android 13 on the Pixel 6, hoping that this situation will end.
