Hi FrankReckerman!


This could be a possible hardware issue, here's an apple article that covers troubleshooting steps for this issue.


If you see "Failed - unable to complete Touch ID setup", or either of the following happen when you go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, take your device to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact apple support.

  • You can't turn on Touch ID
  • Touch ID is dimmed or grayed out
