Finger print scanner lagging after updating to 7.1

Hey guys.
I noticed today that each time I would place my finger on the finger print scanner, it would take roughly 2-3 seconds to read then it would unlock.
I never had this issue on 7.0.6. I rebooted the device and cleaned the scanner but still the same.
Any one have this issue?

All I can tell you is that the complaint is widely reported.

Best advice I could give is to delete and add those fingerprints again. From time to time I get this problem but it isn't often. The scanner has worked almost flawlessly for me since upgrading. I also restored as brand new for good measure when I upgraded.

I just noticed this today. I guess I haven't been paying attention. It definitely takes a few seconds now.

I guess I'm not the only person. I deleted my prints then re-entered them but still it's taking a few seconds. I guess the next step is to restore and set up as new😔

I know it's not much help, but just wanted to chime in saying.. TouchID for me has done nothing but improved since the update, and I didn't need to readd my fingers either. Just putting it out there :)

If you just place your thumb/finger and take it away in half a second, the phone actually unlocks quicker.
