After upgrading to Android 13 Beta 4.1, Tushar Mehta, editor of foreign tech media SlashGear, reported that the Pixel 6a is “very slow” to unlock. The update also seems to have broken the ability for users to add fingerprints, with a constant “unable to process fingerprint” error.
Mehta wrote in a tweet, “The Pixel 6A still works with the fingerprint feature after getting the Android 13 update, but the recognition process is very slow. If you try to add a new fingerprint after deleting the old one, you’ll often encounter the error message ‘Unable to process fingerprint’.
So far, the only way to fix this issue is to roll back the Pixel 6a to a stable version of Android 12. It’s important to note here that any beta software from Google comes with a disclaimer indicating that errors may occur because the system is (by definition) still in beta. This issue will likely be resolved when the phone receives the official version of Android 13 later this year.
