I think the fault is from the phone. Genetically speaken, the daughter is surely his so like they can carry close finger print patterns but not 100% same so may e close to 60% via the phones can open it.... That's my say guys

It's possible that the girl was playing around on your phone and registered her finger prints on it.. It's also possible that you guys have identical finger prints.
This generation of kids are drawn towards tech, so don't underestimate what a 5 yr old can do with gadgets.

I'm very much interested in this topic.

Scientists in the house, is it possible for a child to genetically inherit his/her parent's fingerprint?

No, it is not possible for a child to inherit their parents' fingerprints. Fingerprints are formed by the unique patterns of ridges and valleys on an individual's fingertips, which are shaped by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors during fetal development.

While genetics play a role in the formation of fingerprints, the specific patterns are not inherited in the same way that other traits like eye color or hair color are. Instead, the unique fingerprint pattern is formed by the randomization of ridges and valleys during fetal development, making each person's fingerprints unique, even among identical twins.

However, research has shown that there may be a genetic component to the general characteristics of fingerprints, such as the density and orientation of ridges, which can be influenced by genetic factors. But the specific pattern of fingerprints is not inheritable.

It's worth noting that law enforcement and forensic science rely on the uniqueness of fingerprints for identification purposes, and the likelihood of two individuals having identical fingerprints is extremely low.

This is not 1996 bro
Have you heard of ultrasonic scanners? Reduce accuracy bawo 😂
That's a myth

Accuracy isn't 100%.

Also ultrasonic isn't the only underdisplay fingerprint technology.

Akara and Koko money no fit buy you high end phone .. you come dey claim "kids are smarter" they've hacked my phone multiple times .. do you know what it is to hack ..

Dey play .. our resident philanthropist wey dey use phone wey don condemn ..


Op .. how old is your daughter??

She probably knows your pin and have included her finger print in those phones ..

Just so you know, more than one person's finger print can unlock a phone ...

Our resident thief n scammer

A 5 year old can't be that smart. Yes, she is smarter than the average but it is definitely not my pin.

5 years is even too old. This generation of children are born-tech-swerve. If you see where a year old baby is handling phone, ehen, you'll be amazed. The functions you don't even know exist in your phone, they'll pull it out and be operating it.

They know where everything they need is on that phone. They're naturally smarter than their age.

I was watching one operating her mother's phone the day I visited the hospital, I didn't even know my mouth was opened in awe, until I recovered from the shock . A baby of not more than two years!

I've seen it happen, my nephew's fingerprint opens my phone and I've confirmed from my settings that my fingerprint is the only enrolled fingerprint on the phone.

MrOreo:
At least look on the bright side of this, you no need run DNA test!
That is if the child didn't put her fingerprint already.

Lmao!!
OP I can't say it's not possible she added her finger print because being someone who has taught/worked with this generation of kids, I can testify they are actually smart.

henrimoto:
See how rude you are about this...showing how ignorant you are about certain things..

Don't you know that there is possibility of that child inherit part of his father's finger print.

Guy, wetin we no know, plenty.

Guy, forget that thing!

I know a girl of six who does everything you can think of on an iPhone and she's been at it for more than two years now!

What are we even arguing about here? A smart girl of 5 years is capable of doing anything on phone or laptop. Mind you, the possibility of sharing same fingerprint is always 1 in every 1 billion.

Therefore, it's either the mum did it with her or she knows the password and did it by himself.

Period!

Guz: We HV seen security & safety measures fail from time to time... Nobody depends on Technology 100 percent; do HV option B incase of fail-safe disappoints!

As it's in the physical, so it's in technology or cloud; they can be breached. How else do hackers do their thing?

What about this scenario: Remember those days one would write their passwords somewhere in case you forgot.... This pwd Neva expire-o. Ok, used this password Monday-Wednesday, come Thursday, the OC no accept am. Called IT, narrated that this pwd was written down somewhere-o (not forgotten & not expired). The IT Mgr checked, then said, "these things happen although rarely". Well, he ran the system all over again b4 I cld access it again!

oliverwrites:

Have you checked how many finger prints installed in your gadget?

oliverwrites:
It is not pin, it is password. I am not dumb, if she can guess it I will say. I use things such 123$,Gon.ners456. I am an IT person and my passwords are not easy to guess.

Especially not for a 5 year old.

you won't tell their brain what to pick o, because u feel it's difficult doesnt mean it's difficult for her brain, how kids learn is an art to be mastered,

Oga is not possible my children use their finger print to open my phone too.But I discovered it after one month. Secret is they add their finger print making it 2 so the best thing is delete the finger print and add a fresh one then give to your child if it will match again.

Xpol:
not possible, my AI told me the possibility is one in 64 quintillion. It may just be a mistaking id from the phone app.

The child added his finger print to the phone my children did it to me.

PointZerom:

That's the Answer.

PrinceofAgoAre:
then your wife is the culprit here .. one out of the two knows your password . Confront them.

Why not simply change his Password?

Karleb:


Actually, Identical twins, triplets etc. share thesame fingerprint and tongueprint etc.

No,they don't.

Why not ask someone to check for you how many fingerprints are enrolled in the phone.
At least you can start your forensic from there.

No, it's not possible.

There are many characters in Homo sapien species that are not inheritable,and fingerprint is one of them.It's a unique feature peculiar to each individual.

Karleb:


I hate how you people argue sha.

You are more concerned about winning an argument than learning what you don't know.

There's an Indian movie made concerning this.
There are real life legal cases concerning this.
There are textbooks written concerning this which I'm sure you never read in your life.

Nna ehn!

Identical twins share the same fingerprints!

One identical twin even testified right here,it beats me how none of them paid any attention to it.
They are just busy trying to win the argument.
What arrogance!

MONEY247:
I am a twin...
Me and my bro fingerprints are the same....
I went to the bank to thumbprint and it showed his profile....

I think people prints can be duplicated....

There you go!
Yet our arrogant 'know-it-alls' won't even consider the possibility.
Science this, research that,yen yen yen

nani212:


Not a fact because you can’t prove it. Take your daughter to the bank next time you have a transaction. Let her use her fingerprint for your BVN verification. If it works out, mention me and I would stand by what you are saying anytime any day.

See them!

Fingerprint technology for some phones are faulty... Or inadequate. We have common DNA strains with our blood relation. But none is 100% same.. The problem is when phone Biometrics use less than 50 identical markers, when you have say say 600 DNA markers which also reflect in your fingerprint. So any close relative like a child who has enough similar DNA markers with you, can open your phone. It has been long proven.. Phones like Samsung updated their biometric software.. some time ago, to accommodate such similarities.

oliverwrites:
100% not the case. My wife has access to the phone and doesn't need to do that.

I am convinced the finger print opens my phone and checking online, many are saying the same thing. Her elder sister who is 8 can't open it neither can her younger sister who is 3 but that second born can and it is not hacking, she is just 5 years.

Your wife added the daughter's fingerprints so that DNA test will not cross your mind. Probably the daughter is the only one among your children that may not be yours. By so doing you will rule out all possiblity of carrying out DNA test on her

I messed up for real.

I was wrong about my claims here.

I'm taking my big L.

oliverwrites:
The first time she did it I felt it was a coincidence. But it has happened many times that I think her fingerprints opens my phone.

Two different phones now.

There are times it doesn't open it but I have seen this happen like 6 times.

Is this a normal thing?

De there de ask question. Is it a strangers fingerprint that you want to open your phone?

No two individuals can share the same fingerprint. Twins are not the same people. They are two different individuals. They are only special because they were born the same day from d same womb

Karleb:

Where did you get that?

waice6571:


The same is happening here. My son's fingerprint opens her mum's phone and also the face lock. I think those phones pins and locks are not as secured as we are made to belief.

My wife linked her right thumbprint to the phone but my son will open it with his 2 middle fingers combined. The boy accidentally discovered it and alerted everyone at the moment.

My wife uses Redmi Note....

So your son is a her

So you are basing your theory on a movie and not any research finding.

That means we can say that superman and krypton exist just because a movie was made concerning it

That's because she has enrolled her finger prints on your phone without your knowledge!

If she added her fingerprints to ur phone why won't they open it?
