JAKARTA - Since its first generation, Samsung has always required Galaxy Fold series users to register their fingerprints with the device in an open state. Finally, it ended with the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Starting from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 series, Samsung has changed the fingerprint registration process for this book-style folding device, allowing users to add fingerprints either when the screen is closed or opened. The animation has even been updated to show this properly.

Previously, and with all the previous Folds, Samsung required users to open the device to add new fingerprints, either during the initial settings or after. This still applies to the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Samsung's reasons for these requirements are never clear, but the public is expected to be happy that it finally ends. Despite adding one fingerprint as the device opens sense, it prevents users from naturally placing a second fingerprint for their handle when the device is closed. Therefore, this new setting should allow for faster and perhaps more accurate registration.

However, there is a bug in Samsung software that prevents users from setting fingerprints during the device's initial settings process.
