Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

Ruling: Thumbprint scan is like a "blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking."

@arstechnica be sure to know how your phone OS works. On iOS you can press the “power” or “Siri” button 5 times rapidly and as long as you have a passcode it will be required. No thumbprint or Face ID will work.

@arstechnica

Just use a password/code/phrase as the only way to unlock your phone.
