That disables biometrics at least on iPhone 7
- ryanmonroe 8y agoJust tried on iPhone X. It didn't disable FaceID.
- Operyl 8y agoContrary, from the lock screen it disabled biometrics. Your phone must be locked already.
- village-idiot 8y agoDoesn’t work on my iPhone 7+.
- function_seven 8y agoWow. Just tried this on my 6S (iOS 11). When asked from the lock screen, I was required to enter my passcode to unlock afterward.
- jeffhiggins 8y agoHold the lock button and one of the volume buttons for 3 seconds. This disables biometrics, and gives on-screen swipe options for MedicalID and Emergency SOS. Pressing the lock button 5 times also disables biometrics, begins a 3-second countdown to auto-call your Emergency SOS contacts and 911. One nice touch is that the language used to let you know Touch/FaceID are disabled doesn’t rat you out to the cops (just says that Touch/FaceID doesn’t recognize you, not that you intentionally disabled it). If these don’t work for you, there are options under Settings, Emergency SOS.

- badwolf 8y agoJust did this with my XS. It immediately disabled face unlock and required password. Neat.
