Hi Sherry, Can you describe exactly what you do? I mean how do you wake up your phone to look at the notification? Do you press the home button or the sleep/power button? My guess is that you put your touch Id finger on the home button to press it and that then tapping on the notification unlocks your phone because it has already read your fingerprint. There is no way such an obvious bypass would have not been long since discovered and fixed. My guess is there is another explanation.

I have a 6 digit password set on my iPhone 6S running the latest IOS. I enjoy getting the news notifications and others on the locked screen. What I just discovered is that double tapping on a news article or even a message takes me directly to the app without the necessity to put my fingerprint or password. Then the app can be closed and the phone is totally available for regular use. In other words it totally bypasses the security. I went to Password in the Settings and made sure it was set to immediately and all of the other choices except Siri were turned off. I left Siri on because I often use it to place calls. This situation bypassing the security does not seem right to me. I did do a restart on the phone with no change. How can it be so easy to bypass the security. Does this happen to anyone else? I did not realize that tapping a notice would open the phone until just recently. Tapping a reminder asks for a password. I really hate to turn off all notifications on the locked screen since I like to be informed. What can I do?
