What this app does exactly?
It temporarily disables your phone's fingerprint and forces you to unlock your phone using a backup method (PIN, Pattern or Password). The same thing that happens when you restart your phone and you are required to use a backup method to unlock your device.
I don't understand why would I want to disable my phone's fingerprint?
A fingerprint may be less secure than a strong PIN, pattern, or password. A copy of your fingerprint could be used to unlock your phone. You leave fingerprints on many things you touch, including your phone.
Disabling Fingerprint can be useful in many scenarios
- Someone can access your phone while you are asleep/unconscious (or Knocked Out :D)
- You can be forced to unlock your phone with a fingerprint.
- and many others

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
