Fingerprint to sign in to apps

My previous phone was the Galaxy S6 and it allowed me to use my fingerprint to sign in to apps.
My nexus 6p doesn't. Is there a setting I need to enable to get this feature?
Here's a picture from my wife's gs6

Here's a screenshot from my nexus 6p
Notice how her galaxy s6 has three option to sign in using her fingerprint but mine doesn't?
How do I get the nexus 6p to allow this?
Both phones are running game through most recent version of the bank of America app.

Apps will have to be update to allow for nexus fingerprint. Samsung uses own proprietary app that BOA app was updated to work with. They will come eventually as more phones go to this method.

It says it right in the app description:
"Note: Fingerprint sign-in is currently only supported for select Samsung devices. We’ll be adding support for more devices in future releases."

Yea it sucks. Very slow adoption rate

Mostly because most still think it's a gimmick like 3d screens. Once it has been common place for a year or so you will see more adaption...if it lasts that long.

Just received new update including FM radio

Okay, but how do you access the FM Radio?
*edit* Never mind. Just use the Next Radio app.

It works great I am running mine on condensed its great. Allows me to check one more thing off the list of items I need root for. If I could just get V4A working I would be happy without root.

I have been really impressed with the frequency of updates for the S7 Edge, the updates for the S6 seemed to come months after launch for ciritical issues. Glad to see they are on top of it.

Closing this thread since it's also here:

Is there any reason to use Secure Folder instead of MyKnox?
Thanks!

I personally think it's a more streamlined version of MyKnox. Also, you can't see which apps are there unless you unlock the folder, so that's an added layer of privacy.

secure folder issue
Secure folder is now available at the Galaxy App store for the S7 with nougat. I installed it from there and it immediately crashed Pixel launcher. There was something in TOS about it not liking custom ROMs. I installed it on T-Mobile non rooted S7 edge. Uninstalled it due to it crashing the Pixel launcher.

.Missing keyboard

Has anyone had this happen yet? This is happen twice in about a week timeframe where I go to respond to a message and the keyboard space opens up but there's no keyboard there . You think this is a serious issue or possibly something related to Nova launcher since I'm using that And not the stock launcher ? Otherwise the phone performance is outstanding .

Weird. I've never had that issue on messenger. I'm also not using anything stock though...
Nova launcher (paid version)
Android Messages (by Google)
Google keyboard
I did have a similar issue on Samsung internet (beta). However, In that case it simply wouldn't pull up a keyboard when I clicked in a box that I can input text in. I replaced that browser with chrome and have had no further issues.

I'm using Nova Pro and SwiftKey. Never had that happen in any app either.

When I've come out of Galaxy VR and switched the resolution back down I've had the missing keyboard issue. Changing keyboard to the Samsung and back to Swype fixed that.

I'll go and see about the browser. I do prefer chrome so I'll make sure that's a default

Tmobile had me wipe the cache and believes that will fix the keyboard and other issues

Anybody received the customizable Google Search widget update?

Hello
I was looking for the customizable Google Search widget update when I first heard the news about it.
I have realized that I am now using much more recent version of the same. .
But I still could not get the overflow menu in the widget to customize it.
Did anyone got luck with that?

I am in the Google app beta and have it

I am not in the beta channel but having even more recent build of the same.
I didn't get any overflow menu to customize it.
Are you using stock launcher ?

Am i using incompatible version ?
I am not getting the overflow menu.

It seems to be tied to the main account on a phone. I just set up my partner's new S8 and the custom option appeared. Not on my S8 or G6. I don't think it's phone specific, but rather tied to an account that has it activated. Very frustrating.
