Fingerprint scanner on lock screen - Smart Unlock

I have Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. I should turn on screen each time I want to unlock phone by fingerprint. But on some other phone like i6S and i7 when you put your finger on sensor, it will be unlocked - even screen is off. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Would love to have the same feature on my Xperia XZ premium.

Note 8 Iris Scanner Problem

Hi, there might be some problem with my note 8.
I activate the instant unlock without swiping the lock screen for the iris recognition unlock.
the problem is something the iris camera will not shows up on the screen after i swipe up to check on the position of my eyes. it said 'if this keeps happening, please restart your phone'.
I wondering anything cause the iris camera not to appear on the screen.
The iris scanner still works well on capture my irises to unlock the phone, it is just that the iris camera do not appears on the screen (the one with the two circle to position your eyes).

Try factory resetting the device and check if the issue is still there. If yes, take the device to the samsung store for replacement. Mine works flawlessly. Much better than S8+ actually.

why do I have to scan my finger twice to unlock?

Hello,
I bought the Moto X4 through Amazon with the Ads and latter hated seeing them so I paid for the difference to get them off. I issue is that Everytime I unlock the using the fingerprint sensor I it just takes me to my lock screen and then I have to swipe up or I have to use my fingerprint again to take to my home screen. It did the same thing while I had the Amazon Ads i always had to do it twice to unlock my device completely.
Does any body else have that issue or is there a way for it to be just on scan and take me directly to my home screen?
I'm on the Android One version on Project Fi, and that is not how mine works. While the screen is off, I press my finger on the sensor, and it bypasses the lock screen to open my phone immediately. Works the same with both fingers I have added.
The G5 Plus had a faster fingerprint sensor.
Is there any way to use my fingerprint scanner only once and directly take me to the home screen instead of the lock screen?
Mine works like that. Just touch it and unlock directly to the home screen. Idk why your didn't. Try to remove fingerprint unlock and set it again. Must work like it should.
My guess is that this is a behavior of the Amazon version that shows ads on the lock-screen, so they have to force you to take an extra step so you actually see the ads.

Can I have the fingerprint working without a lock screen?

Coming from a Galaxy Note 4 where I could have my fingerprint registered without having a lock screen of any kind setup,
on my Mi 8 10.2.2.0 whenever I disabled the lock screen it clears my fingerprints registered.
The fingerprint is useful specially on banking apps and such and I can't have that working now without a stupid locked screen,
I just want to tap to awake the phone or press the power button without having to reach out to the sensor on the back of the
phone, I have no need to password protect my phone.
Is there any trick to do this?

Lock screen

I previously had the S9+ until it got stolen but I had to swipe on the lock screen to activate the face recognition and iris scanner.
With the S10+ I cannot seem to find this feature, has this been taken off?
I like to look at my locks screen to check the time etc but I dont like that my phone starts scanning for a face when the screen is turned on.
