iPhone 16 pro can’t focus for biometric confirmation for banking apps

I also facing same issue with iPhone 16 pro max.I have 4 bank accounts and in every bank application I am suffering same issue.

MCB Bank ( Muslim Commercial Bank)

JS bank

Meezan Bank

Faysal Bank

Put a magnifying glass before iPhone camera and than do the in app verification. It will be done. Just did on mine iPhone 16 pro max

Hey Dear! I’m also facing the same issue on iPhone 16 Pro Max it shows try again the camera is unable to focus on fingerprint when come close to the camera!

I am facing the same issue with different banking apps in pakistan. It seems like there is a focus issue when camera is opened within third party apps

I am also having the same issues. It’s annoying. I can login with any old phone no issues but the iphone 16 pro doesn't seem to focus on the finger prints.

NEED HELP ASAP!!!

I have installed version 18.1 RC but still facing issues with HBL, Bank Alfalah, and Meezan Bank.

Banking apps use the ultrawide lense for biometric verification. And because 16 pro lineup has an upgraded 48MP ultrawide lense, the verification cant continue because the apps need to be updated to support the new lens.

It will get fixed once the app developers rewrite some code. Not Apple's fault.

I have 16 Pro Max and facing this same issue. I would say wait until the app developers start updating the apps.

16ProMax Biometric Issues

I’m unable to login my banking apps due to biometric issues. This iPhone 16 is unable to focus on close objects. Can i get any help regarding this issue.

The magnifying glass trick worked in Alfalah app for me.

Magnifying glass suggestion worked like a charm on Alfalah and Jazzcash. Super thankful to folks who suggested that.

Who is your bank and what app? I've not been able to find any banking app that authenticates by taking a picture of a fingerprint (which to me seems to be really lousy security) so we'll need to know the details before anyone can offer much in the way of suggestions.

Regards.

I'm having the same issue; my banking apps are not working. I've tried biometrics 50 times on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, but it still doesn't work. I have five bank accounts, and the same issue with all banks

Facing the same issue, is there any chance to overcome this?

I’m on the same bus as you all. I have a cheaper andriod phone for such backup incase of any app issues. Such biometrics is so frustrating. Some apps dont use for example Faysal, BOP, Silkbank.

i have Alfalah, HBL, Jazz cash and easypaisa. Not worried for the later two but really hope fix comes soon.

Does not happen with older iphones I think
