I have been using an iPhone 6 for the last year or so, with the Touch ID feature enabled and functioning as expected. Yesterday and today I noticed that the Touch ID feature was non-functional.
I have reset Accessibility settings related to the Home button. I've backed up the phone and erased everything (all steps to resolve that I found on various on-line blogs), and setup the phone as a new phone. Still, I get an error message : Failed Unable to complete Touch ID setup. Please go back and try again.
iOS 11.4.1 is the updated OS version.
It's frustrating to have access to this feature (which I actually enjoyed over having to key in a passcode) and then it's just gone with no apparent ability to restore it. Anyone encountered this? Is this Apple trying to tell me I need to upgrade my phone (which I won't, incidentally, as I have never been compelled to own the latest and greatest of anything).
