iPhone 6 touch ID Unable to setup ERROR
Lools like this has been an ongoing issue (also have the burning thru battery symptom), was working in afternoon, not watching in evening. Forced restart didn’t work for me. iOS is up to date. Any suggestions?

1. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Enter your Passcode. Then turn off iTunes & App Store. Reboot your iPhone or iPad. Go back to Touch ID & Passcode in Settings and turn iTunes & App Store back on. Tap on Add a Fingerprint to add another fingerprint.
2. Remove and re-add fingerprints: Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Enter the passcode of your device > Scroll down to find fingerprints. Tap on the fingerprint, which you want to delete and then Tap on Delete.
3. During the registration process, make sure your finger surface gets scanned and try different angle.
4. If your finger is sweat or there is liquid on your iPhone, you need to wipe both your finger and your home button.
5. Force Restart your iPhone or iPad: Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
6. If a restart does not help try a Restore. First using iTunes. Then connect your iDevice to computer and launch iTunes to restore your iPhone.

What error do you get? A message? Something? What happens exactly? Could you post a screenshot?
It is never a good idea to ask a technical question by just saying "it doesn't work".
Specific error message "Touch ID Unable to activate Touch ID on this iPhone"
As I noted, based on my searches, this seems to be an ongoing issue over the course of several years. Suggested fixes I saw did not resolve issue.
This is one of the things I tried which didn't work. As soon as I try to turn iTunes and/or App Store back on, it switches very briefly to the setup screen, then to "Failed Unable to complete Touch ID setup. Please go back and try agaon"
Have you also tried the restart as suggested?
