How to force passcode unlock on iPhone SE lock screen?
I want to be able to unlock my phone when I’m wearing touch screen compatible gloves. Touch ID doesn’t work with gloves. When I tap the home button to unlock, (sometimes) the phone doesn’t do anything. Just stays on the lock screen. This behavior is inconsistent.
If I hold down the home button it activates Siri.
When this is happening, it doesn’t matter how much I mash the home button, I cannot get the phone to give me the option to use my passcode. I have to take my gloves off and use Touch ID.
On some occasions there is a tap here to use passcode link but I don’t know what the logic is to get that link to appear.
Any advice?
iPhone SE iOS 11.2.6
Old post. I know. I was bothered with this problem for a loooong long time. Hence, I was looking for solution, while reading this topic here (thanks for that) i !accidently! found the solution:
SOLUTION on iPhone SE (iOS 14.2:
- press either the home or on/off button ONCE
- wait a short while (approx. 0,63468 seconds) ;-)
- press the home button
TOUCH ID or Enter Passcode shows up
OMG, it is so simple. I was so frustrated. Hitting my home button so often, angry about Apple,... Now its all gone. Simple and easy solution.
