iPhone 6 Plus Screen Replacement

If I replace the iPhone 6 Plus' screen with another original iPhone 6 Plus screen, will the touch ID work?


My current iPhone 6 Plus screen is having issues where the screen does not respond to touches and does some weird things on its own. It has even sent messages to a few of my friends. (just random letters and emojis)


I want to purchase a used iPhone 6 Plus and the swap the screens. The reason I want to still keep my original iPhone is because it is in a very good condition.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

No, your Touch ID will not work if you do that yourself. The only ones who can effectively do that are Apple or an Apple Authorized service provider as only they have the capability to pair the new hardware with the Secure Enclave encryption system on your iPhone.
