I know on iOS7 I was able to have my phone sit locked for 14 minutes, without using a passcode...I had it set for 15 minutes... Can you do that in iOS8, I have the 6+
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.
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.
