the people that say don’t use phone biometrics have no idea what they are talking about.
they are stored in a processed format on your SE and cannot be extracted, and the OS only sees “yes/no”
if there was anything hiding that stole your biometrics a phone reset won’t get rid of it due to the SE being a fully separate system from GOS
