How to issue Touch ID on iPhone under iOS 11
The new discovered feature in the beta version of iOS 11 is also known as the cop button. The function offers, among other things, the option of temporarily switching off the Touch ID during a police check.
- Actually, the emergency call SOS function was developed so that you can request a rescue service very quickly without having to log in laboriously.
- However, users have now discovered another function in the beta version of iOS 11. It is not known whether this feature from Apple was actually intended to temporarily switch off the Touch ID. There is regular discussion, especially in the United States, as the police often force users to unlock their iPhone with Touch ID.
- If you press the power button on your iPhone, the emergency call functions will be displayed as expected. This is not a surprise.
- However, if you quickly press the power button five times in a row in the beta version of iOS 11, you will find that you have also deactivated the Touch ID.
- The temporary deactivation of the Touch ID remains until you enter the corresponding code again.
