### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

Rest Finger to Open is an Accessibility setting that affects the [Touch](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/50531/get-in-touch-with-the-world-class-3d-product-design-companies) ID sensor on the iPhone in some way. While there is no definitive explanation for why and how it solves the iPhone's sensor difficulties, some users have found it to be a useful remedy. Here's how it works if you want to give it a shot on your own:

1. Go to the **Settings menu.**
2. Select **General.**
3. **Select Accessibility** from the menu.
4. Press and hold the **Home Button.**
5. To use the functionality, tap th**e switch next to Rest Finger to Open.**

After you've made these adjustments, reboot your iPhone and check to see whether Touch ID is working properly.
