An official screensaver
Smartphone screens have a certain sensitivity to respond to our touches and have an extra layer of a inappropriate thickness it can completely ruin some of its functionality. This is exactly what happens with the fingerprint sensor of the Google Pixel 6 and also the Pixel 7, as well as many other devices affected by this issue.
From the Mountain View company itself, they state that the ideal way to avoid this inconvenience is to buy an official Google screen protector. In this way, they ensure that we will avoid any kind of problem by unlocking the smartphone through the fingerprint, although this solution does not convince many users.
Mainly because they have a price of 21.99 euros in the online store of the big G. In addition, this means that you are going to have to place the screen protector yourself, since labor is not applied in this case. So a large part of consumers do not end up betting on this alternative, because they are not entirely sure if they will be able to place it correctly.
In this sense, it should be noted that there are thousands of users on YouTube who teach you how to do it without much complication. However, no one wants to see how bubbles appear between the protector and the screen of their new Google Pixel 7, since putting the protector wrong implies not only that, but also that its efficiency is not optimal, being more likely to suffer some damage if has a hit. Not to mention that currently the official by Google is completely out of stock in your storepreventing them from making their purchase and forcing consumers to wait or lose this unlocking feature.
The simplest solution for your Google Pixel 7
Since Android 11 there is a function available in the settings that has the purpose improve screen touch sensitivity. This property is intended exactly for screen savers that can reduce the response to our touches, so you must not forget to enable this option on your Google Pixel 7:
- Open the settings on your smartphone.
- Locate and access the “Screen” section.
- Activate the “Touch Sensitivity” function.
From now on the Google Pixel 7 fingerprint scanner it should improve its performance, although it all depends on the screen protector and its thickness. The ideal would be to buy the official one from Google when it is available, but it implies the disadvantage of having to place it yourself.
