Hi

Ok I don't like to be able to reply to a message without first using my credentials, so I turned off reply with message in the touch ID settings.
I love being able to view messages, especially when its an automated message you only need to view and not reply to.

But what about Whats APP, I use this the most and its still possible to reply in lock screen with the setting off?
 
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Thought it was a bug, and it very well may be, but I would also like to know if it can be changed so that I can't answer from the lock screen without Touch ID.
 
Unfortunately with the new rich notifications it seems that it's up to the developers to set up theirs apps and notifications to work appropriately (and ask for the device to be unlocked before some action is taken or at least based on some setting).
 
Not to hijack this thread, but I seem to remember Spark doing something similar, at least on iOS 9. What I mean is that I was able to delete / archive messages from the lock screen without unlocking the device. Does this still happen?
