Hello, My touch ID is kind of finicky, and I have a 5S running on iOS 8.3 as well. However, it was finicky before I upgraded. Sometimes I have to try three or four times before it registers. I have these electronic wipes, though. The packets come with one wet cloth and one dry cloth. And ever since I got those, I don't have as much trouble unless my fingers are cold or I've only recently washed and dried them. You can see an example of these cloths are http://www.amazon.com/Advantus-Kleen-Screen-Cleaner-REARR1205/dp/B0017D3O20/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429033646&sr=8-1&keywords=electronic+wet+and+dry+wipes .

TouchID worked well for the first 4 months or so, but alas is now unreliable. If I register a new fingerprint it works fine for about 2 days and then the finger print is no longer recognised. Do any listers have tips on the best way to position fingers or thumbs during the initial fingerprint registration or any other tips on how to make touchID reliable. I have tried cleaning the home button with a dry cloth and also tried registering the same finger several times as if they were all different fingers. Would it help to clean the home button in some other way? Many thanks for any tips. TouchID is great while it works! Do any other listers have problems with TouchID on iPhone 5S? Is TouchID on iPhone 6 reliable? Best regards….
