Lorie, Go to Settings > Touch ID and Pass Code. There, you’ll find something called Require Pass Code After, which is supposed to give you options to tell the phone how long before a passcode is required to do stuff. On my phone, which is running iOS 13.7, the only option available for me is Immediately. Not sure why this is the case, as I remember it used to be you’d have other options up to 15 minutes. There’s probably another setting somewhere that controls it. You may have other options on your phone too. You probably wouldn’t want to do this, but there’s also a setting to not have Touch ID required to unlock your phone.
One other thing: I’ve had Touch ID for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been able to do two presses of the Home button and be able to get right to a message I want to reply to. The key is to have your finger prints set up right. Keep in mind, also, that you can have more than one finger print. In my case, I set up finger prints for both my right and left hand index fingers, so I can unlock my phone with either hand very quickly.
