   Thaaaank you! I almost flip from time to time this new unlocking thing is totally frustrating and unintuitive. Especially as it worked just fine before.

   this is so helpful. I can usually roll with the changes on the upgrades, but this one has been hard! That swipe is so ingrained….I wonder why they didn’t keep an option to change it back….. We must all assimilate I guess.

   I do not have the “Rest Finger to Open” option. Does something else need to be done before I go back in to the Accessibility area?

   I don’t believe IPhone 5 has that option……….I tried this but there is no on off switch for the “rest finger to open” option you mention

    How do you do the same unlock on an Apple iPad?

    I wish they would have given us the option to choose if we wanted swipe the screen as an option. The new update, I think is a ploy to wear out our home button faster, so we would have to replace our device sooner. Very unhappy with this iOS update.
