    Go to Settings

    In the search bar, type " Optimize Battery Usage"

    Change the filter to " All Apps"

    Type " com.samsung.android.biometric"

    Uncheck it


    Now you will notice the fingerprint scanner works faster and more accurately and so will face unlock!

    PS: Tested on Galaxy S20+ but I'm sure it will work on the S10 series and Note 10 as well.
