Hi Guys,

Anyone else facing this issue ? Touch ID was working fine till my last update to 9.3.3.

Now its hit or miss and I need to enter my passcode to unlock.

Cheers !
 
No issues here at all with Touch ID & 9.3.3. Ip6+

Try cleaning the home button, deleting your saved fingerprints, then register your fingerprints again.

hi

i have no idea whats up with your Touch ID, but I had repeated problems with Touch ID becoming less reliable.
meaning, after awhile the imprints that were registered in Touch ID just would not work so well, as time went on.

i saw a thread somewhere that said to try the following:

1 delete current registered fingerprints
2 reregister them
3 then a couple of times after you registered them, go back into Touch ID and press lightly is more positions/angles. you will see that imprint be highlighted. doing this seems to add more info about each print then is able to be added when initially registered.

since i did it that one time, no more problems with Touch ID, even after 6 or 7 months.

I removed old print and added a new one in : didn't help. Added another print of the same finger and now Touch Id works everytime (just like before).

I had also removed pass code and added it back in as well.

Cheers !
