Passcode lock - 15 minutes?

Same options in relation to that still exist.

 

I don't see any other option either

 

If you're using Touch ID, immediately is your only option.

 

You mean the differnce with TouchID. Once that is enabled then it's immediate in the sense that it just takes a touch.

 

If you have Touch ID enabled for log in, iOS 8 restricts you to "immediate" and removes the time options.

The auto-lock time options still remain.

I'm completely confused why this is necessary. I shouldn't have to "code in" -- fingerprint or passcode -- within X number of minutes if I don't want to.

This needs to be fixed, unless there is some convincing reason not to.

 

General > Settings > Auto-Lock

You can set it to 1,2,3,4,5 or never.

 

Like said before, with TouchID enabled, immediatly is the only option, which bugs me as well.

 

I posted the same thing but just got the usual "its for touchid"
Its bloody annoying

 

The idea is that with TouchID it's essentially seamless--you would typically press the home button to turn the screen on and that very act would get the TouchID and unlock the phone so it's almost like its not even locked.

 

Exactly. That's what I do - get my (locked) 5s out of my pocket, hit the home button, and boom I'm at the home screen.
