iOS 10, a new operating system for mobile devices from Apple, it really brings a lot of changes. Some are negligible, some are very significant. The new unlocking system belongs to the second category. The Slide to Unlock function has disappeared, replaced by the necessary press of the Home button. However, within iOS 10 there is an option to return at least partially to the original system.

Breaking down the long-standing habits that users have to get used to in iOS 10, we have detailed broken down in our big review of iOS 10. Thanks to various innovations, the locked screen works in a completely different way, on which many more operations can be performed, and thus the iconic unlocking by swiping the screen has also fallen victim. Now you need to unlock the phone by placing your finger on the Home button (Touch ID) and then pressing it again. Only then will you find yourself on the main desktop with icons.

With this method, Apple tries to force users to use the new interface of widgets on the locked screen and the ability to quickly respond to incoming notifications. However, many users complain that they cannot get used to the new unlock system in the first days after installing iOS 10. Of course, Apple probably expected that.

In iOS 10 Settings, there is an option to modify the operation of the Home button during the unlocking mechanism. Settings > General > Accessibility > Desktop button you can check the option Activate by placing your finger (Rest Finger to Open), which ensures that in order to unlock an iPhone or iPad on iOS 10, it is enough to just place your finger on the Home button, and you no longer need to press it.

It is necessary to mention that this option is only available for iPhones and iPads with Touch ID. In addition, those who have an iPhone 6S, 7 or SE have the option in iOS 10 to have their iPhone screen light up as soon as they pick it up. Then, in the case of activating the above-mentioned option, the user does not have to press any button at all to get to the main screen, he just needs to put his finger on it to verify it.
