Just noticed that I have to tap and wake up the phone to use fingerprint. If phone is off and I touch fingerprint, nothing happenes. Is this a new security feature, or a bug? Thanks
Yes on the AOD it shows fingerprint scanner, but I have to tap to wake before it will activate.
That's a bug then I think. On the always on display you should be able to place your fingerprint on the icon and have it read your print to unlock the phone. With screen completely off it should not work.
Strange. I don't use AOD but turning it on I can NOT unlock. Might as well be a picture of a fingerprint. Does nothing until I wake screen.

I too think that's a bug. Does it happen in Safe Mode? Have you tried restarting your phone to see if a quick restart fixes anything?
I don't have the link in front of me, but it's called Google Buganizer. That's where we file our bug reports.Interesting. Since I got my 6 there have been times when I see no fingerprint "target" on the screen so I couldn't unlock it. I would either have to repeatedly tap the screen or tap the power button.
However, since I installed the January update this problem seems to have disappeared.
Is there some way to file bug reports with Google, besides having to open an inquiry with support? I had a Bluetooth issue that I solved myself and support was difficult in diagnosing it - they just wanted me to do a factory reset.
