How to fix unresponsive Touch ID on iPhones!

Firstly, you can try swiping your hand and the home button of the iPhone (where the Touch ID is). Sweat is actually one of the causes that may make the iPhone have slow or unresponsive Touch ID. This is especially inconvenience to those who have sweaty hands. You can use a piece of cotton cloth to wipe away the sweat on you hand and the home button. It will help the recognition of the fingerprint smoother than before.

Secondly, you can also turn off Touch ID, then turn on again. This is basically the same as rebooting the device when freezing. To do this, go to Settings > Touch ID & passcode, then enter your passcode (if you have one), then slide to turn off, the slide again to turn on the “iPhone unlock” option. You can also delete any previous fingerprints here and add new ones for better recognition in the future as well. Basically, change the old fingerprints to newer ones.

In the same option, we can also add more than one fingerprint. You can add up to five fingerprints for recognition, and making smart use of this can really boost the speed of Touch ID. One trick here is that you can save the first 4 with four fingers you often use, then with the last one, you can use all the previous 4 fingerprints when the device ask you to move your finger. This will make recognition more accurate. Last but not least, update your operating system regularly. It is proven that newer OS will enhance many functions, Touch ID being one of them. So update to the newest OS whenever you can.
