iPhone fingerprint ID help please

I was unaware that everyone had individual nose prints. You learn something new every day.

Ear prints too...

Hang on, if I can remember into the distant past when The Spice Girls we’re in the charts, microwaves were new technology and @User14044 had just celebrated his 80th birthday, didn’t iPhone 5 have the ability to access the camera from the lock screen. You just swiped up from an icon at the bottom pre unlocking?

I can press the button and the screen opens with gloves on..
But the swipe only works with flesh, not my winter gloves. I can then stab at it with my nose and hope that I hit the Camera icon. And then similarly to take a pic.

Ah. You can buy gloves that have a phone finger capability. Or there’s guides on how to make existing gloves touchscreen compatible.

I tried to set up the fingerprint ID access on my 5s using my nose

Snot the way to do it!

I just got a new smart watch and have set it to keep my phone unlocked when it's with me. When out of range the phone locks. .

You mean "gloves with holes in". What will they think of next?

The simple answer is usually the easiest, don't lock it

Here's a thing from over the road regarding the perils of nose unlocking:

The rot set in that time I was loitering within tent, and as per the traditional spodding-with-as-little-flesh-outside-the-sleeping-bag-as-possible technique (lying on your back edition), managed to lose my grip on my Android device, which flopped onto my face, activated speech recognition with my nose and promptly googled for "ow, bastard".

Obviously an Android problem..

I am amazed that nobody has yet mentioned the penile unlocking option ...

YouTube being what it is, there is probably at least one video demonstrating it, but let's leave it to the imagination, eh?

Always knew iPhones were for misogynists

No need for Google with the collective knowledge of CC members
