  "account": "Apple's iPhone Duo employs traditional Touch ID authentication, with the sensor located in the side button, similar to iPad functionality. By default, users must authenticate using their finger to unlock the device and then swipe up to dismiss the Lock Screen. However, there exists a setting that eliminates the latter step.\n\nTo activate this feature, users must assume the iPhone Duo is already set up with Touch ID. Once the screen is awake, resting the finger on the side button will immediately open the device, eliminating the need for a swipe. This setting can be found in two locations within the Settings app: Settings ➝ Touch ID & Passcode and Settings ➝ Accessibility ➝ Side Button. Upon selecting either menu, users will encounter Apple's description under the toggle, confirming that these are indeed the same setting.\n\nShould users decide the expedited Touch ID unlocking method is not suitable for them, they can simply turn the switch off again. After this adjustment, they will need to swipe up from the bottom of the Lock Screen after fingerprint authentication to fully open their iPhone Duo.",
