Try as needed:


1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and lock buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears (remember that Touch ID won't work for App store on first use)


2. Restore to factory settings as described below. You will have to reenter your fingerprints.

why would I want to restore to factory settings if this is clearly problem with 8.3 , to me it looks that it was not even tested properly , software update should fix it . Users should not go and restore all just because 8.3 broke something . It's Apple responsibility to make sure everything works as intended . I am already getting tired every time they release new update something getting broken . More and more like Microsoft works . Apple please get you things straight and fix this **** with touch ID . This is ridiculous, comon ....
