Unlock iPhone X without swiping

On the previous iPhones with Touch ID, we were able to unlock our phone without pressing the home button after getting recognized by Touch ID.


I’m missing this feature on the new IPhone X with Face ID. I would love to be able to unlock my phone without swiping up.


What do you guys think about this?

It's a user-to-user technical support forum. Not an emotional support forum. It's not the job of anyone here to "delight" you.

Come now, you can write a response without using profanity, I would assume!

You haven't spent much time on public transportation lately, have you? There is an entire generation of people who can't seem to manage that.


In the old days, the email notification of the post usually still had the unreacted profanity. That no longer seems to be the case.

The doorman at the Savoy recently retired, his position had made him something of a celebrity so the Beeb among others did an interview with him. Upon being asked about the grand and famous guests he had met and (more importantly for the interview) how many he had failed to recognize, he said that he had found that those who mattered did not mind, and those that minded did not matter. I like his take on people.

That sounds like the challenging job. He sounds like the sort who probably treated everyone as if they were someone famous.

His point was , I think, that he sometimes failed to recognize one, and when asked how they took that said, the ones that matter, don’t mind, the ones that mind, don’t matter.

I would like it if the side button could just be pressed once and then Face ID opens the phone. So it is more of an open/close toggle (not just close). Then there would be no need to press the Sude button, use Face ID, and then swipe to open.

I fixed that for you. Your certainly entitled to your opinion. But how you think things should work is only that, an opinion.
