Hi ,


Why apple not add Double Tab wake up screen feature in iPhone. Double Tab wake up screen feature is very good for touch screen phone.

Any security reason Apple not add this feature ??

I would actually find it pretty useful, I don't get those of you who just say "you don't need it since there is the home button", that's not true.


Especially with my iPhone 7: with such a fast touch ID, while the phone is lying on a desk and you just want to take a look at the lock screen (and don't want to raise-to-awake), the only way to wake it up is with the sleep button (which is obviously not so handy), since pushing the touch-id home button is likely to bring you to the home screen 99,9% of the time in less than a second.


And believe me, I had never never liked before that double tap to wake on android phones, but I just realize i needed it as soon as I started used an iPhone with Touch ID.


Maybe while writing this I'm realizing that maybe I should try to get used in pushing the home button with a non-scanned finger 😁...

Use an un-enrolled finger.
