I installed a screen protector for the first time on Monday. I’ve been having issues getting my fingerprint to work and just would use my pin to unlock. This morning Android popped up a notification saying “Using a screen protector? Click here to increase touch sensitivity!” Pretty awesome.

Now stop asking me to use Gemini.

    Pixel 9? If so, what screen protector did you go with?

    Just got one and the screen protector I bought doesn’t work with the new style fingerprint sensor, so looking for a known-working brand

      Pixel 8.

      Cnarery 2+2 Pack Privacy Screen Protector for Google Pixel 8, Privacy Tempered Glass Screen Protector and Camera Lens Protector [Easy Installation]

      It struggled a little but I did add new fingerprints which helped.

        Thanks for the info! Just struggling to find a suitable tempered glass protector now since the pixel 9s moved to the ultrasonic style fingerprint reader.

          I regret this screen protector drives me crazy. It works for my thumb print only some of the time. It could be user error but I think I’m giving up on it. I hope I didn’t lead you down a failed path.

    Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don’t want scratches on my screen so I’ve always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I’m on my 3rd tempered glass.
