hi
if I use my finger like you, it works even on 14.2. Please use whole thumb, put is flat, it won't work then.
Used my whole thumb like u said and it workshi
You my friend is a life saver.. I’ve already had this setting enabled but never thought to use it this way.
By not perfect, does that mean it still happens but not as much?
The back tap method works every time. How does the beta compare?
No. That is a waste of time. Call back the advisor and tell him or her, that you tried resetting all settings as well as doing Recovery Mode on the phone and nothing worked.
To be fair, I was trying to figure it out late last night and couldn’t seem to get it right. This morning, I looked on Reddit and found someone had beat me to the punch as it were, and that is when I posted this procedure here.
By the way, I tried those things I said to tell the advisor, who is just following protocol, before escalating the case to an engineer.
many no have mini problem...some have problem = screen defect lot factory...not software...want fix problem screen? = return mini or can waiting for apple fix @ shop...kaa
I was using the back tap method but found it annoying and not natural. I prefer the 14.3 update. That works for unlocking 99.9 percent of the time
People with tiny hands and fingers seem to notice it less, but people with "man hands" suffer more 😄many no have mini problem...some have problem = screen defect lot factory...not software...want fix problem screen? = return mini or can waiting for apple fix @ shop...kaa
Apologies, I was admittedly premature in posting my feedback yesterday; thought the problem was only about being able to swipe up on the Lock Screen. After posting 'all was OK once on 14.2', I quickly noticed that the Flashlight/Torch & Camera button were not responding to 'normal' finger press (can get to work by using the very tip of my finger, but that is not really a normal way to interact with the phone). Keen to hear from those who have updated to 14.3 Beta if 14.3 resolves 'Swipe Up' and the problem with Flashlight/Torch & Camera buttons
When it hinders things like answering the phone from the lock screen, that’s kind of a big deal and some people can’t have that happen on their phone.
So many others have said 14.3 didn’t help. You’ve even backed off of this now saying it’s almost perfect. I would love to know that you’re right, but I can’t help but worry there’s a little placebo effect going on.
Yes, just noticed that after answering a call the keypad is useless just like the rest of the lock screen
