Many users did not like Apple's innovation regarding the usual unlocking method. And the logical question became: is it possible and how to return the old unlocking in IOS 10, to which everyone is so accustomed? All you need to do is make a few simple settings.
For years, fans have loved the convenient “Slide to unlock” feature of swiping left. In updated software Apple company decided to completely modernize this function. Now you can open the iPhone or iPad menu by double-clicking the Home button.
We are returning to everyone the familiar “Slide to unlock”
Great news for all those who don't like the new feature. There is an easy way to return unlocking to your favorite devices on iOS 10. To do this you need to take a few simple steps.
Settings – Accessibility – Home – Open with finger (turn on toggle switch)
The previous way to turn on the phone with a finger using one touch to the Touch ID sensor will be available. And for convenient reading of notifications, the Power button or the notification shade will help.
If you accidentally swipe towards widgets, you will have to press twice again to enter the menu.
How to return unlocking on iOS 10 if there is no TouchID
Unfortunately, owners of phones without a touch sensor will not be able to fully customize their phone. If, with the settings set, you click on the Home button, the main screen or password entry will open.
Apple left us almost no options, we'll have to get used to new feature entering the main menu. After a week of testing, you really understand that double-tapping Home is a convenient option.
The iOS 10 update (IOS, iOS) has become the largest in the history of the operating system. mobile system for i-gadgets. The platform has received a bunch of new options and features. As is usually the case, one part of the innovations was greeted positively by all owners of i-smartphones, while the other split users into two camps - some liked the innovation, while others once again said, “Apple is not the same.”
One of these controversial new products is the new unlock screen. The Apple giant got rid of the classic “Slide to unlock” and made the lock screen more functional, but less familiar. Hence the negative feedback from users who simply have not yet realized how much more interesting and practical it has become. this screen. For once iPhone lock Instead of the traditional swipe, you now need to press a button, but you can also perform this procedure by touching. How? We'll tell you in this article.
So, let’s recall how iPhone unlocking was done before. The user clicked on Power button or Home and the so-called unlock screen appeared in front of it. At the bottom of the screen the inscription “Slide to unlock” flashed - in the English version, which means “Slide to unlock”, in the Russian version they simply left “Unlock”. However, no explanation was required - the arrow looming next to the above-mentioned inscription eloquently hinted at the need to perform a right swipe (that is, from left to right).
Moreover, if the user did not want to unlock the gadget, but wanted to go directly to the camera from the lock screen, he needed to swipe up from the bottom of the camera icon. To go to a notification, you had to right swipe on the one you were interested in.
Everything seems very convenient, right? Actually, yes, but not for everyone, but only for those users who do not use Touch ID. Those who happily use this option often encounter a very unpleasant situation - they click on Home and want to go to the notification, but do not have time to remove their finger from the button, Touch ID is triggered and the device is unlocked. It is to correct this problem that the new lock screen was conceived.
It became
How to unlock iPhone 5 (or any other) on iOS 10? We press the Home or Power button, we see the unlock screen and at the bottom of it there is a hint - “Press “Home” to unlock”, and it immediately becomes clear what to do next, just press “Home” (aka Home). That is, to unlock an i-smartphone with iOS 10 on board, you need to press Home or Power twice, then Home.
For reference: to go to the camera from the unlock screen, swipe left. And if you swipe to the right, you will find yourself on a very convenient “desktop” - widgets, frequently used applications and much more interesting things will be located on it. Thus, for example, to go to a program with which the user interacts frequently, there is no need to unlock the gadget and look for its icon among a bunch of others, just right-swipe and tap immediately on the icon of interest
How can I get everything back?
Of course, Slide to Unlock cannot be returned, but if you don’t want to use the Home button again, which, by the way, is not the most reliable part of the iPhone, you can activate tap unlocking. For this:
That's all! Ready! Unfortunately, however, this option can only be activated by users of i-smartphones with Touch ID, that is, owners of iPhone 5S and later versions. And, of course, Touch ID must be enabled and configured (“Settings”/”Touch ID and password”).
Let's summarize
The unlock screen in iOS 10 still causes a very ambiguous reaction among owners of i-smartphones. Some people like it, some don’t, but it’s simply impossible to deny the fact that the new screen has become more functional. We are sure that over time everyone will appreciate this update!
After updating to iOS 10, an excited user will quickly dive into the new features of this OS. But there's one more thing you need to do before you dive headfirst into iOS 10—learn how to use the new lock screen.
In iOS 10, the core "slide-to-unlock" feature of iOS has disappeared, replaced by a requirement to press the home button to unlock the device. There is no doubt that this will take some getting used to. I've been using iOS 10 for a month and still my finger hovers over the home button to unlock the iPhone and show the home screen.
Pick up your phone to wake it up, then unlock it.
When you pick up an iPhone running iOS 10, the screen automatically turns on. You can view your notifications, swipe to open the camera (more on that below), or swipe to view widgets. Unfortunately, iPad users in the current beta still have to wake up the tablet using regular means.A small lock icon will appear at the top of the screen when the device is locked. You can place your finger on the home button to unlock. The lock icon will be replaced with a quick "unlocked" flash, allowing you to interact with notifications and widget selections. As you can see from the friendly reminder along the bottom of the screen, you must actually press the home button to open the home screen.
Swipe to view widgets.
Swiping right on the lock screen will show the Today screen. Here you can interact with widgets: calendar events, application activity statistics, or sports competition results. The real widget magic on iOS 10 won't happen until developers start releasing apps that implement the new features, but it looks promising! You can add or remove widgets just like you did in previous versions iOS.
Where is the camera icon?
The camera icon that was located in the bottom right corner of the lock screen is no longer present on iOS 10. However, you can still access the camera by swiping left.
A return to the way things were before.
Luckily, Apple has provided users with an option to restore the old home button behavior. This means that as soon as you wake up the device: by picking it up, pressing the alarm button, or pressing the home button, you can complete the unlock by releasing the home button (instead of pressing it again).Fresh software from Apple iOS 10, caused a lot of controversy among fans of the Apple industry, and all because of the decision to remove the already familiar “Slide to unlock” from the lock screen. Now, swiping to the right on devices running iOS 10 opens a screen with built-in widgets to the user, and to unlock the gadget, you need to use the Home button.
The problem was especially acute for iPhone owners with Touch ID authentication enabled. Sometimes mobile users have to press the Home button again to get to the desktop. However, Apple still left the choice to its users and made it possible to unlock the iPhone without an extra click. In order to return to the usual method, follow our instructions:
How to remove unnecessary pressing of the HOME button when unlocking on iOS 10?
1. Open " Settings» > « Basic»;
2. Find the section " Universal access»;
4. Move the slider opposite the inscription “ Opening by placing your finger» to the active state.
Now you can unlock your iPhone only through Touch ID without an additional click on Home.
Holders iPhone models 5, unfortunately, returning to the old unlocking method is not available for obvious reasons.
iOS 10 is the first operating system from Apple since the “seven” with many global changes. In addition to eliminating the classic swipe gesture Apple developers decided to combine widgets and Spotlight search into a single window, both on the desktop and on the lock screen. The company also modified notifications on the main screen, opened access to third-party developers voice assistant Siri has completely redesigned the Apple Music and Maps apps.
Keeping up with the times, improved iOS system 10 has updated processes related to smartphone locking methods. Naturally, users who updated older versions of iPhones encountered an unusual feature for unlocking the device.
In iOS 10, the manufacturer replaced the old and convenient Swipe to unlock gesture with a new progressive Home button, by pressing which the user automatically takes to the smartphone’s lock screen, but not, as before, to the desktop menu. Now only with biometric identification you can get to the main screen by pressing the home button again. This innovation is not entirely convenient, but it provides more high security devices, taking into account that in Lately it became and by bank card and a database.
In the tenth iOS versions the company did not allow its owners to go back to the past, where they could select the Basic section from the main menu, go to the “Universal Access” subsection and go to “Home”, changing the settings.
Older versions of iPhones unlock the screen with one press of the Home key. If a secret password has not been set, then simply press the button again.
You can customize your iPhone's locking feature with memorable sounds. To do this, just find the “Settings” section in the main iPhone menu and select its “Sounds” function.
Sound ringtones are installed in the iPhone to enable or disable the audible click following a key press, but also for the smartphone locking signal, as well as for the richness of the sound of calls and messages. Alternatively, you can set a musical ringtone to call a specific person in your contacts list for easy recognition.
How to change the lock sound on iPhone with iOS 10
Unfortunately, along with innovations there are always inconveniences created by unusual moments, one of which is the updated smartphone unlock screen and the sound it makes. It doesn't sound like the others and has a less-than-pleasant solo. Replace unusual sound signal, similar to a creaking door, will not work like a familiar one due to the lack of such options.
Agree that typing something on your phone with a rather unpleasant sound is not only inconvenient for yourself, but also annoying for those around you; in addition, it is unpleasant when you become the object of attention for no reason. It’s better to turn off all these annoying sounds at once and not suffer.
To turn off the sound, go to the iPhone Settings and select the “Sounds” function, then from the list of options, select “Keyboard clicks” and deactivate this sound.
We do the same with the unlocking sound. In the “Sounds” section, select the “blocking sound” option and also put it to sleep. After these simple steps, your iPhone will not pester you with double sound clicks and unnecessary sounds when opening the device.
Since we’ve already settled on the soundtrack, we’ll see what else is musical to turn off as unnecessary.
Mute audio messages
For example, you can disable the audio repeat message about a received but not read messenger. Think about it, is this musical reminder really so important when a bunch of different spam, advertisements, and promotions arrive every day? And each time the iPhone will beep two or even three times. Well, this is too much! Therefore, we will also disable this service forever.
We solve this simply: go to the “Settings” menu and select the “Notifications” section, then go to the “Messages” subsection and close the “Repeat reminders” function by selecting the rather emotional “Never” command. After this you will be reliably free from unnecessary sounds smartphone.
Reduce notification volume
If you put in some more work, you can save yourself from annoying notifications and all sorts of, sometimes unnecessary, reminders that clog up your iPhone’s memory. Sometimes, when installing applications, we, unsuspectingly, agree to accept some push notifications, and then we are bombarded with tons of junk in the form of spam. It's time to stop this. We solve this problem this way: open the main “Settings” menu, select the “Notifications” section, designate applications from which we do not want to receive messages, and disable them in the “Notification Center”.
You will be able to appreciate the subsequent change in life in the near future, and the silence resulting from turning off annoying sounds will make your life easier, and, in addition, will facilitate the performance of the device, since the memory will not clog up so quickly and slow down its operation, and the battery will finally , will begin to keep the promised operating time.
But let's not disagree like that. Some signals are still necessary for operation. If the signal is too boring, you can change it to a pleasant one that is convenient for you. To change the sound of the existing desired signal, you need to select the “Sounds” section in the main settings of the iPhone and, using the options available in the smartphone installed ringtones, select one of them, with the help of which we set a sound alert for a certain type of vital signal. Also, along the way, we can adjust its volume and shutdown mode, for example, using the side button on the iPhone panel.
With the same success, you can solve the problem with patterned vibration sounds. After all, every iPhone has a vibration mode, but not always this sound pleasant and comfortable. Therefore, we can change or select a different vibration mode by going from the main Settings menu to the “Sound” section and choosing, after some deliberation, one of the proposed options in the “Sounds and vibration patterns” subsection.
If you are planning to create your own vibration sound, this is also feasible. It is enough to select the “Vibration” option in the “Sounds” mode and execute the “Create vibration” command. And most importantly, you can take a creative approach to executing this function by tapping your favorite rhythm with your fingers on the iPhone keys, while setting a completely new vibration rhythm. Now in vibration mode, the sound of your iPhone will surprise everyone by being different from all familiar and well-known sounds.
