In this post, you can find some steps to revert iOS 10 Press home to unlock back to iOS 9 style one click unlock. People who don’t like to use this feature can apply a couple of steps to use old style unlock process.
Individuals who have iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus or iPad Pro with embedded 2nd-generation Touch ID sensor, would probably notice one thing that these devices are so quick to react on stored fingerprint detection. For example, someone only wants to check the time but suddenly by touching device Home screen appeared. iOS 10 make things different with “Raise to Wake” and “Press home to unlock” features, but that won’t suit everybody.
People who want to keep their device running on iOS 10, but don’t want to use the new style to unlock their iPhone or iPad, whether they think that it is not a good feature or fear of wearing out their device Home button then here is a simple method to change the unlocking style.
In fact, the new “Press home to unlock” and “Press home to open” settings being enabled by default. Here you can find the steps to revert to old rest finger option.
- As always open device Settings app to make thing reasonable
- Now navigate to General -> Accessibility
- Here are lots of Accessibility options you can play with, however, we only concern with Home Button section here just tap on Home Button option here
- In Home Button settings you can find an option “Rest Finger to Open”, enabling this will bring back the old style unlock method by just resting the finger on Home/Touch ID button. So just enable the toggle on the Rest Finger to Open option to enable it
If someone just gets bored with this, and want to get back the new iOS 10 style “Press home to unlock”, then apparently just toggle off “Rest Finger to Open” option to return the new iOS 10 style unlocking.
