Is Touch ID working well for you?

[nat750]

When iOS 7.1 came out it was almost perfect but since the latest updates it's starting to be a little bit suspect again.

I love playing with other people's phones, especially if they're iPhones. Also, every time I pass an Apple store/retailer, I stop and play with the devices in there. I don't actually have an iPhone, hence why I have what my friends tell me is a creepy obsession with them.

They all worked perfectly except for two I have tried, both which really shocked me. One because it was just a few months old and refused to work at all, and the other because it was a display at an Apple store. But I have tried Touch ID on many, many phones and I'm very impressed with it.

Also, through my fleeting experiences with all those iPhones, I found a neat trick though that allows you to save two fingerprints in just one slot. You do the normal setup but you alternate two of your fingers. I don't know if this will deteriorate faster, but all the times I had tried it, it quickly recognised both without error. It worked with up to four fingers for me.

I went through 4x iPhone 5s samples recently and each one detected my fingerprints flawlessly. On my current 5s I have had it fail a single time in two weeks when my thumb was soaking wet and only half on the fingerprint reader lol.

I timed the time it takes me to unlock phone from screen on to homescreen with no security (no passcode or fingerprint) vs with fingerprint and it's the same. Based on that I would say it's a very successful feature.

I gave mine to service. Less than 70% ... I am waiting for their answer!

Mine is 100% of the time and is pretty instant!

I just got my refurbished iPhone 5S.
The one I bought was not working right. TouchiD was the problem. Less than 70% successful.
Now, the refurbished is working 100%.

Just got a 5S a couple days ago and trained it to recognize both thumbs and one other finger and it's worked flawlessly for me.

I have not had too many issues with my second 5s. My first hardly ever worked...

The one issue I am running into now is that Siri keeps turning on from time to time as soon as my phone unlocks. It turns on and off for a split second... Strange.

Yes! I love android and my G3 but Touch ID is one of my favorites.

 

[Spencerdl]

Yes, Touch ID is still working GREAT since original setup. I'm still on iOS 7.0.6

 

[MartaMB]

Working flawlessly here.

 

[LBBowie]

It worked great right away for me, although during setup I must've placed my thumb on the sensor fifty times before realizing I had to tap 'continue' first. :straight-face:

I only use one fingerprint though, since I almost always grab my phone with my right hand anyway.
Might not scan another fingerprint if that increases the chances of TouchID becoming slower or more prone to error.

Taking screen shot during lock screen mode is difficult due to touch id feature? normally i added my both thumbs as a fingerprint which unlocks my iphone and creates problem in taking screen shot?

Never failed a second.

I love it. Sometimes I even try it on my mini and get sad when I have to swipe.
