None of my biometric logins work anymore after the latest update. Seems like a big oversight in your testing Samsung.

Kindly head to the Samsung Members app Support tab and run the Phone diagnostic for fingerprint recognition. Does it pass? If so, try this. With the phone off, press + hold power and volume up until the Samsung logo disappears. With volume keys, highlight "Repair apps" and then power to select and confirm if necessary. This wipes the cache partition and reindexes your apps.

Are you referring to the recent August update? I also have an S22 Ultra and everything is working great.

Yes August update. None of my apps including banking are working with biometrics. I'm having to login via password and I cannot re-enable biometric login either.

I've had my S22U for 2 months and I have noticed more issues after taking the latest update on mine too. But at the same time my fingers and touchscreens don't get along too well. Hopefully a future update helps improve or resolve the issue at hand.
