Q: Rest Finger to Open isn't working
I am very concerned about wearing out the home button on my iphone 6s so I set to "Rest Finger to Open" but it's not working? Am I supposed to do something else?
iPhone 6s, iOS 10

Just to clarify -- when you say it isn't working you may want to reply with more details.
If the phone is locked you need to physically depress either the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button and then rest your finger on the Home button. If you physically depress the Home button it should both wake and unlock the phone in virtually one step as the press wakes the phone and the finger being on that button almost immediately reads the touch id and unlocks the phone. Note that before iOS 10 a physical press of one of the buttons was also required.
