How To: Quickly Disable Touch ID on Your iPhone in iOS 11 for Extra Security
In the US, law enforcement can make you unlock your smartphone with a fingerprint, but they can't force you to input a password or PIN, which would violate your Fifth Amendment rights. To help you combat the problem with biometrics such as fingerprints, a new feature in iOS 11 will let you disable Touch ID on your iPhone in mere seconds — without even having to unlock your iPhone.It's not known whether or not Apple intended for this feature to be used as a "cop button," but it definitely does the trick. And while there were obviously other ways to disable the Touch ID fingerprint scanner on an iPhone before, such as registering the wrong fingerprint several times in a row or just restarting your iPhone, this is by far the easiest/fastest when you're in a pinch.Don't Miss: Everything You Need to Disable on Your iPhone for Maximum SecurityThe iOS 11 feature in question is called Emergency SOS, which provides you with a super quick way to dial 911 without having to think about. It also lets you add emergency contacts that will be notified of your last known location, as well as future locations, until you disable it.Emergency SOS is turned on automatically in iOS 11, and there is no way to disable the feature. To use Emergency SOS on an iPhone 7 model or earlier, just click the Side button (aka the Sleep/Wake or Power button) 5 times in a row. To use it on an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, press and hold the Side button and either Volume Up or Volume down button for two or three seconds. (On the 8 models, you can also use the 5 clicks of the Side button option if you turn it on in the settings.)In the Emergency SOS settings, you can choose whether or not it automatically calls 911 or just gives you the option to. We suggest making sure "Auto Call" is toggled off if you want to use this is a certified "cop button," though, on the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, the "Auto Call" option only works if "Also Works with 5 Clicks" is on.More Info: How to Use the Emergency SOS Shortcut on Your iPhone in iOS 11 As you can see above, the Emergency SOS screen pops up, and you don't need to do anything further but hit "Cancel." The next time you try to use your registered fingerprint(s) with Touch ID, it will tell you that "your passcode is required to enable Touch ID," and there's nothing law enforcement can do about it — even with a warrant.Don't Miss: How to Quickly Turn Off Face ID on the iPhone XFollow Gadget Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, and Instagram Follow WonderHowTo on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+

If you see that your download speed is significantly faster than files are actually downloading, the problem most likely isn't with your Internet.

The horizontal dotted icon in your iPhone's status bar serves as an indicator of your device's network strength. And while it does help provide an approximation of how strong your signal is, swapping it out to display an actual numeric value is a lot more precise and can change up the look of your iPhone (or at least the status bar).
