I've already try restarting it and my phone's software is up to date. This has been my problem for months.

Here are some potential solutions to fix the problem:

Remove and Re-register Fingerprints: Try deleting your existing fingerprints and then adding them again. This can often resolve software glitches with the sensor. 

Check for Physical Obstructions: Ensure that both the fingerprint sensor and your fingertip are clean and dry. Dirt, moisture, or a poorly applied screen protector can interfere with the sensor's ability to read your fingerprint. 

Test in Safe Mode: Booting your phone into Safe Mode can help determine if a third-party app is causing the problem. If the sensor works in Safe Mode, you may need to identify and uninstall a recently installed application. 

Factory Reset: If the problem persists, a factory reset may be necessary. This will erase all data on your phone, so it is crucial to back up your information first. 

Contact Support: If none of the above steps work, the issue might be hardware-related. You should contact Samsung support or the seller for further assistance. 

Disclaimer: A factory reset will erase all data on your phone. Make sure to back up all important information before proceeding with this step.
