How to improve your Touch ID finger recognition

Have you ever had trouble getting Touch ID to recognize your fingerprint? Happens to me when I am sweaty from working out. My guess is, the moisture plays havoc with the sensors.

The video embedded below talks about two separate solutions. One is to add a wet fingerprint, that is, one that is created under the same conditions that make your fingerprint hard to read.

And the second is to continue to train existing fingerprints, to improve the detail, make your fingers easier to recognize.

Very interesting.

  1. not sure it’s on the video but related to the “add a wet fingerprint” i added a landscape scan. made it much more reliable to open in landscape mode.

  2. I’d actually like my 6S Plus to be a little more immune to unlocking so easily. I’d like to be able to hit home and just show the time, etc.
