I have been using fingerprint unlock on my s6 with no problems since I got it. Starting today it forces me to swipe up first then I can unlock with my fingerprint. Makes no sense to me

If you have on body detection set up on your device then sometimes it will make you swipe before reading you finger print. Turn this feature off and it should fix this...also if you have trusted devices setup on your device the same reaction can sometimes happen.

I fixed it. Something called Google smart lock was set to on. Turning it off fixed the problem. I remembered the phone did some updating of Google services right before it started happening
