Fingerprint detection in settings

[Apple blogger]

i don’t know if it’s an iOS 12 feature or it was always there in previous iOS versions (from iOS 7)

Going into settings>>Touch ID and passcode, you know how there’s finger 1, finger 2 finger 3, etc written which shows you the finger prints stored, but if you don’t know which is which, you can check it by putting your finger on the Touch ID, and the relevant finger number will be highlighted to show it’s stored.

It’s such a logical and nice feature, I didn’t know it was there

PS: I know we can rename the fingers to our like. But just in case anyone hasn’t done it.

It can be useful at times. Something that has been around in iOS for quite a while (potentially since Touch ID was originally introduced).

This has indeed been there since touchID was introduced. What’s also nice about this is that, allegedly, it trains on your finger every time you do this. So after setting up touchID, I always went to this menu and clicked a bunch of times for more training hence better accuracy.
