iPhone SE (2016) How to unlock iPhone SE, no home button press

[Kraizelburg]

Hi, this may be a silly question but coming from android I'm so used to wake my phone just tapping the fingerprint reader.
Is there anyway to do the same on iphone SE without actually clicking on the home buttom or the power buttom?

Thanks

You could potentially try to use Raise to Wake (assuming iPhone SE supports it): https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208081

There's also Rest Finger to Open: https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/14/ios-...-change-is-setting-on-touch-id-iphones-ipads/

Wow thanks had no idea this was an option. I just switched to the SE. This will help reduce pressing the home button so much.

If you want to avoid pressing the home button even further, you can use the Assistive Touch feature to create a virtual home button. http://osxdaily.com/2018/08/16/enable-virtual-home-button-ios-assistivetouch/

Personally I don't like that button hovering over the screen
