Hello, I have an IPhone 6s, and i have a question, sometimes while it is suspenden when i go to unlock with the touch id, i get the message "enter your code to activate the touch id", i would like to know why this happens, since it did not restar the device or anything. Thank so much
Earlier iPhone models
The ability to use your fingerprint to unlock times out after a while. Especially if it hasn't been restarted after several days where the passcode hasn't been entered since and you've only used the fingerprint to unlock during that period. I underlined the operating condition.
Face ID, Touch ID, passcodes, and passwords - Apple Support
A passcode or password is also required if the device is in any of the following states:
* The device has just been turned on or restarted.
* The user has logged out of their Mac account (or hasn’t yet logged in).
* The user hasn’t unlocked their device for more than 48 hours.
* The user hasn’t used their passcode or password to unlock their device for 156 hours (six and a half days), and the user hasn’t used a biometric to unlock their device in 4 hours.
* The device has received a remote lock command.
* The user exited power off/Emergency SOS by pressing and holding either volume button and the Sleep/Wake button simultaneously for 2 seconds and then pressing Cancel.
* There were five unsuccessful biometric match attempts (though for usability, the device might offer entering a passcode or password instead of using biometrics after a smaller number of failures).

Yeah - it's a lot of little rules. I think I've had the last one (five attempts) happen a few times when my fingerprint wasn't working. Right after washing my hands seems to be poor, even after my finger is completely dry.
This happens after some time, to verify that it is still the right user who has the phone. It is a kind of extra security. I also use an iPhone with Touch ID and I also experience it every few days. However, I still haven't managed to find out exactly how long it takes between the times it asks.
ok, so its completely normal, thanks
Nice! thanks 😁
