Touch ID not working due to oil?

Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but my Touch ID is practically useless sometimes. I got out my Mac's screen cloth and cleaned the home button and it worked (sometimes.)

It's not just you. The scanner is pretty sensitive. I always have lotion on my hands, so touchID probably works 90% of the time. Blah.

It's worked for 3 weeks with most success now it isn't?

Try adding your finger print while it's "oily", so you have a dry finger print AND a oily finger print saved?

Or go into Apple and get your phone replaced if you think it's a hardware issue.

My touch ID probably didn't work 65% of the time. after I upgraded to 7.03 firmware my touch ID is now 95% working perfectly

Upgrade your software delete your prior fingerprints and rescan them this is what I did and now it works all the time in fact it's really hard for me to even get it to fail
