Is there a way to go bypass the lock screen and go directly to the home screen in iOS12?

iMore Question

I'd like to be able to wake the phone by pressing the Home key and have go straight to the Home screen without stopping at the Lock screen. I tried Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button > Rest Finger to Open but I still get the "Press home to open" message when I wake the phone.

Thanks

Re: Skipping the Lock screen in IOS12

Not sure if it’s possible unless you don’t have a passcode on your device which is not recommended. That said I tried it on my GFs 8 plus and it only shows the lock screen for a second.

Maybe someone can chime in on this

Skipping the Lock screen on iPhone 6

I would like my iPhone 6 to wake up in the Home screen. I'm not using a passcode so there's no reason to go first to the Lock screen, as far as I can see. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

If this is possible, it’ll have to be done via a jailbreak tweak or something. Other than that, you cannot wake directly to the home screen on an iPhone.

I'm assuming this is on an iPhone 8 or lower.

I do it all the time. I press the home button and the phone unlocks and goes to the home screen. I also have touch ID set up.
