My ollophobic coating on my s25 ultra went like three months after I got the phone and it's really bad.And there's no way to fix it.There's no yeah, I will call mewent like 3 months after I got the phone and it's really bad. And there's no way to get a new one I try to get this on amazon.And it doesn't work.
I'm pretty sure it's because of the antireflective coating

Well, I've had luck with the kits to replace the coating, but I don't have an anti-reflective screen.  You can just put a screen protector on - just make sure you have wiped all the fingerprints off the surface before you do.  You may even be able to take it to a service location and have them restore the coating.

Its pretty awful when it wears off. You get these oil streaks all over your phone.

I used this kit, but as I said, I do not have an anti reflective surface on my phone. https://a.co/d/6T4Yg9o .  As far as an anti reflective screen protector goes, I would take @Robin621k's recommendation, as they know what they are talking about and is very particular about the products they use.

That's unfortunate, but I think it may have more to do with the fact that your screen is antireflective.  Once again, try @Robin621k 's suggestion for the screen protector.

Yes, it wears off really easily. The only way to avoid it is to use a screen protector. It is hard to find the perfect matte screen protector to insure that the anti-reflective display stays that way.

It took me many tries before I settle on this brand, I love it. I didn't have to redo my prints.

The only screen protector that offers the anti reflective coating is the one from Samsung and its not a good screen protector.
And it also gets worn out really quickly and really not smooth/slides
