    Touch ID scanner no longer working

    Touch ID Problems

    So I have a 2017 15/3.1/1T. It works well BUT TouchID has a hard time registering my fingerprint. The sensor/button works but it's rarely consistent in reading my fingerprint. Am I just doing it wrong or is something up with with the sensor?
