iPhone 8/Plus A question about Home Button

[GPap]

Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a way to just click my Home button but I'd like just to check lock screen, not to enter.
It would be nice. I know I can click the other button on the side but it is not comfortable for my setup.
I made some settings related to Home button in my iPhone but no success yet.
If I click that Home button it enters immediately to my start screen..
It is a big detail but it matters for me and I wanted to ask that question around a year now.
I'd like with one click to see my lock screen and after that if I choose to, with second click to enter.
Happy 4th of July to US people.

Thanks, Giannis.

So you have Touch ID enabled? Do you also have Settings > Accessibility > Home Button > Rest Finger to Open enabled?

Thanks, Touch ID is enabled (I need it).
I don't have the phone in English but you probably mean the last option in Home button choices,
which I have it disabled.

Could you not just press with a finger that you have not yet scanned? That would throw you back to the lock screen immediately.

So with all that if you just press/tap the home button once (without leaving your finger on the button) instead of just lighting up and showing your lock screen the phone actually immediately unlocks and takes you to your home screen?

 

[GPap]

Exactly

Exactly

That is rather strange. With those settings it has been working basically the opposite way for me for a long time. Have you tried playing around with that last home button setting, like enabling/disabling it to see if it makes a difference (maybe along with restarting the phone to see if that might do something)?

No success, one workaround is to click the button very very fast (under some milliseconds), but it is difficult, I can't win all the time.

Definitely quite odd that you are not able to get it to work like that given that that's now I've been using a few different iPhones for some time. Not quite sure what could be there to account for the difference.

Thinking about it some more, do you have the raise to wake option enabled? In case that might have some effect on it all.

Also, in case they might be of some help, there are a few other past discussions about this sort of thing:

I keep accidentally unlocking my iPhone with TouchID when I just want to check the time

I have an iPhone SE and I use TouchID. I check the time and my notifications countless times a day. It's easiest to wake the phone using the home button, because "Raise to Wake" doesn't always work, and using the top button requires me to completely take it out of my pocket and even use my other...

"Rest finger to open" inconsistent

Brand new iPhone 8. Set up as a new iPhone. A few days after using it, "Rest finger to open" for unlocking the phone no longer works as expected. If I wake up my phone (either by raising it or pressing the side button), and then rest my finger on the home button, it doesn't unlock about 75% of...

Just push the button with one of the 9 fingers not enrolled in Touch ID....

Simply enable raise to wake. The screen will turn on by simply raising the phone so you can check your lock screen without touching the Touch ID.

 

[GPap]

I have disabled "raise to wake up" which gives me some more milliseconds to touch the button, as I notice.
But I have to be fast anyway. Other solutions above, such as enable raise to wake up / unenrolled finger, are good ideas but don't fit to what I'm looking for.
(It looks like my Touch ID is extra sensitive for some reason)
Thank you all.
