Are there any privacy screen protectors that work with fingerprints?

Bought some screen protectors and they don't work with the fingerprint reader. After looking at other protectors online, it seems the reviews reflect this problem for almost all of them. Are there any privacy screen protectors which are designed to work with the fingerprint reader?

I assume you already tried to increase touch sensibility in the settings...?

I've got a regular screen protector on (yet), not a privacy one, but it's not working reliably at all too.
There are models with silicone inlet on the spot where the fingerprint reader is, less protective in that area tho, but better for the reader. You may look for a privacy protector that specifically points that out, if any. The thicker/resistant, the less the reader works.

I recommend this one on my pixel 6. I've tried plenty privacy screen protectors and most of them leave ugly grids on the screen, making reading a lot less fun. This one just looks much better. I don't know whether those are available for your device or under which brand they are sold in your country, but good luck finding similar ones.

I don't use fingerprint unlock myself, but I've tried setting it up for testing and it seems to work reliably. It's always recommended to increase touch sensitivity and set up the same finger 3 or 4 times to increase reliability, so maybe try this first if you have a good screen protector already installed.

N1b and set up the same finger 3 or 4 times to increase reliability

You mean the same finger multiple times, as it were "another" finger?
I haven't tried that yet in GOS, on my old phone, there was a function like "identify finger" in the fingerprint settings, one could put a finger on and that function told you which finger it is. I assume that won't let you teach-in the same finger more than once. GOS doesn't have such an "identify" function, so it may work and I'll give it a try...

TRInvictus yes that's exactly what I mean. Gives you redundancy where one single recognition would have failed.
