Hi friends,
I need to consider some security on my IPhone 5s, just wondering what people
have found the best way forward, a pass code or fingerprint recognission?
Can you overwrite the fingerprint recognission with a pass code if required for
example?
Many thanks in anticipation,
A passcode is always required if you enable this level of security, you
cannot add fingerprints without first setting a passcode.
Also, if you do add Fingerprints and I really don't know why anybody who has
a 5S would not do this as it works fantastically, you still have to remember
that if
I've always wanted to do this too; so how do you get the m4r files
produced, into the iPhone as a ringtone?
Sigh!... I'm another of the windows iTunes app conchies.
and there isn't another way?

Yes, the Maps app from Apple, which is already on your iPhone will do
this. You can also download Google Maps for free, which some prefer over
the Apple Maps app. There are also other free options as well as some
paid options and even some options written specifically for the blind.
