Unlock with Touch ID driving (safe driving)

[pablomedi]

Many of us listen to music with Spotify while we're driving. When we want to change songs the Iphone is locked and we have to enter the code, and this is a risk when you are driving. Therefore I propose that you can unlock when using Spotify with Touch ID to have a safe driving! Thank you 😉

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by entering a code.

I have an iPhone 6 with Touch ID.

I open up Spotify and start playing a playlist, and then click the power button to lock my phone.

While the song is playing, and I want to make adjustments, all I have to do is click the homebutton and Touch ID will recognize my finger and open Spotify back up to where I had it.

Yes, but I mean if I have set up the code to unlock and not Touch ID, while Spotify is running I want unlock the iPhone with Touch ID.

Thank you!

Unlock operations are always "owned" by the operating system, so I don't think this is possible. Apple did open the Touch ID SDK to other apps for authenticating in the app, but to be able to unlock the device is outside of those tools.

So why can I have several apps (Skandiabanken, Dashlane and more) on my iPhone being opened by way of Touch Id. Everytime the apps close I can reopen by my fingers, and the apps does not logged of in between.
