How come the require passcode on my 5s iPhone only has the option of IMMEDIATELY. It will not let me change it to anything else. On my old phone, I could set the passcode to be good for 5 minutes or longer?
Am I missing something here?
OK...I found it. It took me a lot of searching.
If you use the touch ID, this is what Apple says about it:
Using Touch ID sets your Require Passcode setting to Immediately. You still have the option of entering your passcode simply by sliding to unlock.
I guess I should have searched a little more. Now I know and maybe this will help someone else.
Thank you Lawrence for your help.

Completley agree that we should have the option to decide if we want it to be immediate or not, and feedback sent.
Thanks, but I think we can all do that. The problem is the separate "Require Passcode" setting, which only allows the "Immediately" option if you are using Touch ID for unlocking.
This happens on iPad too, so not fingerprint thing. Probably your exchange server settings.
Fine, but I don't have a corporate Exchange account and never have had.
THat's true, but the fingerprint recognition very often does not work first time for me and so it becomes a burden. Maybe I have atypical (non Apple standard) fingerprints? 😉
And, ironically, Chris' post at the top of this page makes the same recommendation.
My apologies. I cannot edit or delete my post. So duly noted for the future.
