The fingerprint reader of your Pixel 9 no longer runs round? Here’s how to correct the bug

Some owners of Pixel 9 point out that the latest Android update in Mars disrupts the operation of the fingerprint reader in their smartphone. A rare but annoying bug that Google is struggling to correct quickly.

Save save Receive smartphone alerts The latest update from Android 15, deployed in early March by Google on Pixel smartphones, seems to sow the mess with a handful of users. Last week, we already told you about the bugs with a haptic return of Google smartphones. This time, several owners of Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro report a total malfunction of their fingerprint reader. As Android Authority specifies, this bug remains as marginal as embarrassing for those concerned. Read also: The best smartphones in March 2025 How to solve this problem (rare)? The particularity of the problem? Its rarity. According to the lifts on Reddit and the Graphèneos forum, only 1 user in 1000 is affected by this breakdown. But for those affected, it’s a bit of panic: the phone literally acts as if its fingerprint reader no longer existed. The option disappears completely from the parameters and the sensor no longer responds at all. Before, the solution seems as strange as the problem itself: it would be enough to completely turn the device before turning it on to make things come back to normal. Be careful however, a simple classic restart is not always enough. Several users even indicate that they had to repeat this operation up to seven times before definitively solving the problem. The time we write these lines, Google has not officially communicated about this strange bug. It is not very surprising, given the scarcity of the problem. Not sure either that an official correction is applied. In 2023, similar problems had been reported on the Pixel 7 Pro, then with the Android 14 beta on this same model.
