Touch ID- security issue

Hello all, I lock my iphone 7 with Touch ID and my daughter can unlock it as well with her finger! So it seems Touch ID is not a secure option. Has anyone experienced this?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Hello Viktoriya_TTT,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that your daughter was able to unlock your iPhone using Touch ID. To ensure that only your fingerprints are set up for Touch ID, use the steps from this article under the heading, "Manage your Touch ID settings".
