The lock screen on your iPhone is one of its most important security features. Not only does it make sure that nobody can access your personal information without the right password or fingerprint, but it also stops anyone from using certain apps without your permission. Fortunately, locking your phone is not the only way to keep others from using it when you’re not around. The passcode feature and the new iOS 11 Face ID system both provide additional layers of protection that make it much more difficult for anyone else to use your phone without your knowledge. However, even with all these security measures in place, you may still want to keep unauthorized users out of your iPhone by playing a sound whenever you lock it. Read on to find out more about what locking an iPhone means and how you can activate this feature if you so choose.

FAQs:
Q: What is the difference between passcode and a Touch ID?
A: Passcodes are used to unlock your iPhone, while Touch ID is used to verify your identity and complete purchases.
Q: How do I set up Touch ID?
A: First, you will need to go into the “Touch ID & Passcode” settings on your iPhone. Then you will need to click on “Add a Fingerprint” under the “Touch ID & Passcode” settings. After that, you will need to place your finger on the home button for about 30 seconds. This will allow the iPhone to create a 3D map of your fingerprint. After that, you can use this fingerprint for authentication purposes when needed.
Q: Can I have more than one finger in my Touch ID?
A: Yes, but it can be difficult for some people because their fingerprints are similar enough that they cannot tell which finger is being scanned at any given time. Also, if someone else’s fingerprint ever gets into the system—for example, if they touch their phone—then it could be used to access your phone as well!
Q: Can I use my old passcode with my new Touch ID?
A: No, you need two different methods of authentication in order to use Touch ID with an old passcode or password. You cannot mix and match them with each other because they are separate systems.
