Using expensive devices like the iPhone, users definitely need to set up iPhone screen lock to protect the device. There are several ways to lock and unlock the iPhone that users can choose from. The simplest way to unlock the iPhone is to press the Home button. A bit more challenging, we have tricks like setting a 6-digit passcode, setting a pattern unlock, shaking to unlock, or face recognition. However, on premium iPhone models like iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, or iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, the fingerprint lock trick is becoming popular. The fingerprint feature combined with 3D Touch on premium iPhones allows users to unlock the screen with their fingerprint in less than 1 second. Unlocking the iPhone with fingerprint has been integrated since the iPhone 5s version. However, to combine fingerprint unlocking and advanced 3D Touch features, only iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 support it. To quickly lock the iPhone screen on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7, you need to perform the following steps.
Tips for swiftly locking your iPhone screen:
Step 1: On the iPhone interface, tap on Settings > General Settings.
Step 2: Here, select the Accessibility section and then tap on AssistiveTouch.
Step 3: If AssistiveTouch is not enabled, slide it to the left to turn on this feature. Next, press Customize Top Level Menu.
Step 4: Here, you can customize the features supported on the virtual Home button. Users can arrange essential support features such as Screen Lock, Screenshot, Screen Rotation, or Home Screen on the virtual Home button.
On iPhone 6s and later, you'll find the 3D Touch Tasks section. Tap on it and select Lock Screen to quickly disable 3D Touch on the iPhone screen. On iPhone 6 and earlier models, there won't be the 3D Touch Tasks section.
Congratulations! You've successfully set up quick iPhone screen lock. When you want to lock the iPhone screen, simply use the 3D Touch feature and press the virtual Home button to lock the screen without pressing the Power button as usual. This helps reduce the risk of iPhone damage and the cost of replacing the Power button.
Of course, if you set up iPhone lock with a fingerprint, it's really difficult for users to forget iPhone, iPad passwords. However, if you set a numeric password for your iPhone, forgetting the password is very likely. In this case, you need to stay calm and apply methods to unlock the iPhone password. Using the iPhone password unlock method requires you to remember your iCloud account and password for the unlocking process to be quick and easy.
