A tip to pass on - fingerprint recognition

From watching YouTube videos, I use my same finger, actually my thumb, and create four profiles for the same finger.

I figure I'll have better luck when using that sensor since I have four profiles of the same finger. 

The problem, on this phone and even my previous phones, I was never completely satisfied with the outcomes.  On a fair percentage of times, my thumbprint didn't register on the first or even the second attempt. 

I now know why.  In Settings / Device care / Diagnostics / Phone Diagnostics / Fingerprint recognition, I practiced using my thumbprint and now realize what I was doing wrong.

I would typically use the top part of my thumb and the results were never fine; when I used the fat part of my thumb, I nailed it everytime.

If you're having issues with that fingerprint sensor, you can now practice using the built-in diagnostics.

Why didn't I think of this sooner. 

Just passing this on.
