If the fingerprint scanner on your Google Pixel phone is malfunctioning or not working correctly, you can try several troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Clean the Fingerprint Sensor
   Start by ensuring that the fingerprint sensor is clean and free from any dirt, oil, or residue. Gently wipe the sensor with a clean, soft cloth.
2. Restart Your Phone
   Sometimes, a simple restart can help resolve minor issues with hardware components. Restart your Pixel phone and check if the fingerprint scanner works afterward.
3. Check for Software Updates
   Ensure that your phone’s operating system and apps are up-to-date. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues with the fingerprint sensor. To check for updates, go to **Settings > System > Software update.
4. Re-Register Your Fingerprint
   Sometimes, re-registering your fingerprint can resolve accuracy or recognition problems. To do this, go to <Settings > Security > Pixel Imprint (or Fingerprint), and delete your existing fingerprint data. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your fingerprint again
5. Remove Screen Protector or Case
   If you’re using a screen protector or a phone case that covers the fingerprint sensor, it may interfere with its functionality. Try removing any additional accessories and see if the sensor works without them.
6. Safe Mode Test
   Boot your phone into Safe Mode to determine if a third-party app is causing the issue. In Safe Mode, only pre-installed system apps will run. If the fingerprint scanner works in Safe Mode, a third-party app may be the culprit. Restart your phone to exit Safe Mode, and consider uninstalling recently installed or suspicious apps.
7. Clear Cache Partition (Advanced)
   If the issue persists, you can try clearing the cache partition. This process may vary slightly depending on your Pixel model, but generally, you can access recovery mode by turning off your phone, then holding down specific button combinations (e.g., Power + Volume Down) while turning it on. From there, you can navigate to “Wipe cache partition” using the volume buttons and confirm with the power button. This action will clear temporary system files, which can sometimes resolve hardware-related issues.
8. Contact Support
   If none of the above steps resolve the issue, and your phone is still under warranty, it’s best to contact Google Pixel’s customer support or contact Reapirmypixel for further assistance.  There may be a hardware problem that requires professional repair or replacement.
