Hey guys, am trying to wrap my head around as to why authenticating via TouchID to expand notifications are not available for iPhone 8 and older devices?

I mean, that’s basically the same premise right? Apple’s actually halfway there when they introduced and option in Accessibility to remain on lock screen after authenticating.

What gives? Why is it an iPhone X feature only? Is there some scenario that is a security concern for TouchID but NOT FaceID?

It's available for other devices and was available in iOS 10 already.

Make sure that "Rest Finger to Open" is OFF (Settings - Generic - Accessibility - Home Button)

Make sure "Show Previews" is set to "When Unlocked" (Settings - Notifications)
