Samsung Galaxy S26 series comes preinstalled with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16. The new software arrives with many useful features, and one of them is the improved fingerprint accuracy. It helps your phone recognize your fingerprint better to make unlocking faster and more reliable.

One UI 8.5 brings a new fingerprint settings option – Improve Accuracy. Previously, users could only edit or remove fingerprints. Now, this new option allows you to enhance the accuracy of your registered fingerprints. This is mainly helpful if your phone sometimes has trouble recognizing your finger, ensuring a smoother unlocking experience.

To use Improve Accuracy, you need to scan the same finger that you used when registering the fingerprint. The system will ask you to scan your finger 10 times. Scanning multiple times helps your phone capture the fine details of your fingerprint to reduce errors and make biometric authentication more reliable.
