I've tried to set it up and remove it a few times, it does not work for me, so I gave it up. I wish Apple would bring Touch ID back for all Iphone models. I don't like Passcode, but have no other choice for now. Maria Dňa 5. 9. 2022 o 3:35 SoonerAnnie napísal(a): > Thanks, all, for the replies and suggestions.
