Is there a way to stop smart phones scanning your fingerprints such as the p10?

[sense12]

i am due a upgrade i Am thinking of getting the huawei p10 but i am put off getting a new phone because of the finger print scanners that are featured on nearly all smartphones now.i know theres probably a setting on the phone where you can turn it off but i dont trust that it will be completly disabled.is there a way of completely disabling the fingerprint scanner or a easy way to cover it so it doesnt work

never enroll any finger print on it then...just use PIN or pattern for unlock

F.P Scanners are a choice not a necessity on any smart phone, just dont activate "Enroll" it during any devices first setup...

I dont use them either, never have, but the Hauwei FP scanners are so good,, that Im thinking of giving it a go

Is there a reason for not using the FP scanner?

Just wondering.....no offence.
