- The latest Galaxy Z Fold allows users to add a fingerprint while closed.
- Users can now place their finger on the side of the device to enroll a new fingerprint.
- It seems that users can now do this on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 as well.
Samsung has also updated its process animation to reflect this change. The device will now direct the user to place their finger on the side button until they feel a vibration. This new screen even adds a green nub off to the side to indicate where the sensor is located.

The previous method of having to unfold the device first before registering felt a bit odd. But users should find this new method to be a bit more convenient. The outlet notes that a software bug is currently plaguing the setup of fingerprints during the initial installation process for the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Interestingly, it seems this function has trickled down to some older devices as well. One of our own writers was able to add a new fingerprint this way on their Galaxy Z Fold 5.
