Fingerprint Scanner Is slowly becoming one of the most demanding features on high end Android phones. It offer users a quick unlock while providing a stable security for any intruders that may want to snoop through your smartphone , and they discourage thieves, as a fingerprint-secured smartphone to a thief as useless unless in the hands of its owner.

Android as you know is a very open platform, which give users the ability to access hidden corners of the OS. This give users full control over their smartphone which can be really exciting.

How does this affect the fingerprint scanner
The Culprit here is the “Recovery Mode”– a “behind-the-curtains” boot menu, which allows users to manually flash system ROMs, wipe the phone’s cache, or clear all of its data. And by all of its data, we also mean all of its security settings – it basically reverts it back to factory-default state.

A thief might not be able to access the data your smartphone by be can surely access the recovery mode and wipe all your data on the smartphone.

This is one of the few thing iOS has over Android since iOS is a closed platform. This is to sure you even with a fingerprint scanner your phone is not all that safe.
