A key new aspect of the iPhone is the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. As part of the new home button, Touch ID allows a user scan up to five fingerprints that can be made use of in the place of a passcode to unlock the gadget in addition to permit App Store and iTunes purchases.
You can set up fingerprints in iOS 7 through going to Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints. Note that you will have to create and key in a passcode first so as to permit fingerprint verification.
Once you have several fingerprints configured, on the other hand, keeping up with them might be hard. iOS 7 at present does not permit a user to allocate a custom name to every fingerprint after it is created, and as an alternative labels them just “Finger 1,” “Finger 2,” and so forth. Fortunately Apple does allow you rename Touch ID fingerprint tags to make them much easier to keep up to date with and trouble shoot afterward!
