Can I open a notification from lock screen with just Touch ID?

Is there a way to open a notification from the lock screen by using only the Touch ID feature?
For instance, on my lock screen I will get a notification of a new email then I have to swipe at the email notification then type in my code or use Touch ID then the email opens.
Is there a way for when I get an email notification on my lock screen to just put my finger on the Touch ID sensor and have the email open? In other words, can I bypass the swiping motion of the notification with just a Touch ID sensor touch?

I haven't found a way to do so either. And I agree that it is pretty annoying. Touch ID is a great piece of technology but it is not well thought through and heavily underused from a software point of view.

  • Can't reject a call from lock screen with pin password

    When I set a PIN code for my iPhone with iOS7 "7.0.2" and recieve a call, I don't get an option to reject that call directly!
    The only valid options on the lock screen is either to set a reminder to call back the caller or reject with message. Is there any hidden feature behind this? or Apple really intended that?
    Attached 2 screen shots for a caller
    While screen is locked with PIN password
    While screen is unlocked

    It has been this way for some time. This is how you would decline a call from the lock screen, and then declining a call from the open screen is how you have it showing.

  • Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

    I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone.  I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default.  In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default.  Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
    The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen.  I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password.  Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone.  I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots.  Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
    I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay.  I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query.  After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer...  I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
    You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
    Here's what I found out...  If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
    You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer.  After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work...  This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
    Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up.  If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
    I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it.  Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
    Good luck!

  • How do i disable ALL notifications from lock screen?

    I do not want ANY notifications on my lock screen. This is a security issue. How do i disable them, other than individually editing preferences for each individual app, and remembering to do this every time i install a new app?

    Did you check Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and make sure it's set to ON?

  • Hi please tell me how can I remove picture frame from lock screen

    ?

    You can only turn it off if you have a passcode on the lock screen - in which case you do it via Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Picture Frame off. If you don't have a passcode lock then you can't disable it

  • IPhone 5s camera app won't open and crashes from lock screen and control menu

    Hello, I recntly got a Black iPhone 5s 16gb and it was working fine. Then sudenly the camera app started crashing after i took photos. Soon later the camera app wont open at all and if i try opening from the lockscreen the phone just reboots. Ive tried just resetting all settings just off the phone and nothing happened, so i decided to restore my iPhone to factory settings and still had no luck. I also had a problem with the flashlight it stopped working aswell (went gray on control menu) and all flashlight apps wont even. I also found out that my snapcat front camera (selfie camera works) and there is no 'swap button.
    This is the second time Ive been suffering from a camera issue the first one was ery similar the shutter wouldnt open because there was no memory, but now ive got 9.1GB free so this cant be the problem.  Other reviews i have read state that the phone has a hardwear issue and need to be replaced.

    FIX FOR REAR CAMERA AND FLASHLIGHT!!!
    I also had the same flash and rear camera problems as everyone else but I figured it was a software problem.
    To fix the flash/flashlight, simply download the flashlight app. The one everyone used before iOS 7. The flash should work immediately.
    To fix the rear camera go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Enable restrictions and turn the Camera off, then take the restriction off. Check your camera, it should work immediately.
    Hope this answers a lot of questions and saves a bunch of money due to Apple's failures.
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • I can't open or shut down my phone with the touch screen (4s)

    help

    Try rebooting by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  If that does not help, take it to an Apple store genius barm for testing by the techs.

  • Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

    I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
    Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through. 
    At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
    This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
    I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

    I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
    Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
    In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
    This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
    Please secure the iOS 5.
    Thanks.

  • In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

    In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

    How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

  • Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

    the whatspp massenger icon has disappeard from my screen i can only open the whatspp from search or find,How can i fix it?.

    The app is not gone, it is impossible to remove it from the device.
    Check all home screens and folders.
    If you are unable to find it, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
    As a last resort, restore from backup.

  • Opening camera or calculator from lock screen

    Recently I upgraded my 5S to IOS 8.3 and now faced issue when starting camera or calculator from lock screen.
    I'm pressing "home" button to activate screen and then start calculator or camera from bottom menu, but the screen goes black immediately.
    When I press "home" button again, I can see that the camera or calculator will be closed and I'm back in lock screen.
    Does anyone else have similar issue with 8.3 ?

    I currently have the exact same issue with my iPhone 5s.
    The previous update was golden and fixed every issue I had with my 5s. I have my 5s set up for Touch ID/password and I was thinking it might have something to do with that, but I haven't gotten around to testing this issue without all of that enabled.
    I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this issue...
    This update also bright back other issues that were fixed in the previous update, for me anyway.
    Is there a way for us to officially submit this issue to Apple?
