IPhone 5s fingerprint ID will not let me make a fingerprint?
My iphone 5s will not let me make a fingerprint.
It works on other people, just not mine.
The reason why i got this phone was because, i wanted the touch ID. Why isn't it working?
Try cleaning the sensor with a handkerchief.
Clean the sensor, and delete any other finger prints in the settings app. Be sure to follow the instructions very carefully, when I first did it I had the same problem
After cleaning the sensor, wet your hands in warm water for a few mins, then use any sort of lotion on your hands and finger, and allow it to FULLY absorb. Then try the finger print scanner. If it works, the problem was your print(s) were just dry. This is a pretty common problem for people with dry skin on their fingers and hands.
A quick finger lick to moisten the finger pad (print area), and a tap on the pants to dry, should also work.
Has to be something you are doing wrong, never heard of that happening, something on your finger or the sensor button?
- Will the ios7 update have the fingerprint recognition for the iphone 5? I just wanted to know if the iphone 5 will get the fingerprint recognition in the ios7 update or if its just for the new 5s.
- Why is everyone so psyched about fingerprint scan on the new iPhone? Motorola already did that so why isn't anyone giving Motorola any credit? @2nd answerer I know that. But Motorola already did that with their Motorola Atrix.
- Is the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 4S? So I just downloaded the ios 7 and I have an iPhone 4S u also heard that there's also a fingerprint scanner and that it might only be for iPhone 5? Is this true?
- IPhone won't let me use fingerprint for purchases and not unlock? I want to just use my fingerprint for purchases in iTunes and App Store so I go to setting and select just that one option but if I lock my phone it still makes me type in a passcode. I don't have that selected. Is there a way to just use it for iTunes and not have to type in a code to unlock my phone
