How do I change my Touch ID?

To change your Touch ID settings, follow these simple steps. You can add new fingerprints, remove old ones, or adjust which features use Touch ID.

Accessing Touch ID Settings

First, you need to navigate to the Touch ID settings on your device. Here's how:

1. Open the Settings app: Locate the gray gear icon on your home screen and tap it.
2. Scroll down and tap "Touch ID & Passcode": This option might also be named "Face ID & Passcode" on newer iPhones, depending on your device.

Modifying Touch ID Settings

Once you're in the "Touch ID & Passcode" settings, you can make the following changes, as detailed in the reference:

• Adding a new fingerprint:

  1. Tap "Add a Fingerprint."
  2. Follow the onscreen instructions to scan your fingerprint. You'll need to place your finger on the Home button (or the power button on some models) repeatedly until the process is complete.

• Removing an existing fingerprint:

  1. You'll see a list of fingerprints, usually labeled "Finger 1," "Finger 2," etc.
  2. Tap the fingerprint you want to remove.
  3. Tap "Delete Fingerprint."

• Choosing which features use Touch ID:

  • You'll see a list of options like "iPhone Unlock," "Apple Pay," and "iTunes & App Store."
  • Toggle the switches on or off to enable or disable Touch ID for each feature.
