iOS 13: Slide to Unlock - is the function coming back?

With the "Slide to Unlock" function, it was possible on older iPhones to unlock the device with a swipe motion when you activated it. However, since the operating system version iOS 10, this function no longer exists. After iOS 13 was released, there is little hope for a return.

This is what to know about the Slide to Unlock feature in iOS 13

Restoring the Unlock feature is only possible with a jailbreak in iOS 13. However, if you jailbreak the iPhone, you will lose the Apple warranty. So you should weigh up in advance how important the "Slide to Unlock" function really is to you. In addition, after a jailbreak, the phone may no longer work properly.

1. First, you should create a backup your iPhones. Disable the iCloud backup function and create a local backup on your PC using iTunes.
2. Install the free software iCopyBot. With this you can jailbreak the iPhone.
3. Start the program and enter "/System Files/Home/Domain/Library/Preferences" under the folder path.
4. Edit the file "com.apple.springboard.plist“, indem Sie direkt nach dem Header die Zeilen <key>SBEnableDashBoard<key> und <false/> einfügen.
5. Nachdem Sie das modifizierte Backup auf das iPhone gespielt haben und dieses neugestartet ist, sollte „Slide to Unlock“ ganz normal funktionieren.
