#iOS10 Home button has to be pressed to unlock

Before iOS10, it was enough only to touch the home button in order to unlock and open the device, now I have to press it. This isn't an enhancement at all.

Ah ja! So raise it or let it on the desk top -no matter-, push the home button once to wake it up and put the finger tip to scan the finger print!

But it always makes no difference wether "home button" - "to open put finger on" is activated or not?!

No difference to the situation before.

The "Rest Finger to Open" does make a difference, but it is subtle. Key to understanding this is imagining your iPhone in a state where it is locked but the screen is on, either from "lift to wake" or by pressing the sleep/wake button. In this state, the screen is on -- so to unlock it you just have to rest your finger on the Home button if this setting is ON. If the setting is turned OFF, then you have to actually click the Home button for your finger to be read. That is the difference.
