Clean your Thumb
The most common trouble arrives when getting scanning is the false reading, you can troubleshoot this problem by cleaning your hands. Dirty and oily hands usually give a negative reading from touch ID. I’m not advising that always wash your hands before finger scan, it is not possible in all situations. Simply wipe your thumb finger with a soft cloth before the scan to get positive results.

This technique is popularly discussed on message boards, it involves scanning the same finger multiple times and storing the scans as separate digits. Scan the same finger at different angles. It is a cheat involves fingerprint touch ID for iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint menu, place the finger and scan as many times you would like. Remember it allows you to store a maximum of five prints.
Clean Touch ID Sensor
Because of the scanner position is open to the outer exposure, it regularly gets dirty with dust and other elements. Clean the scanner with a soft cloth.
Finger Placing Position
If you are still not getting the positive results while scanning, make sure your finger touches the metal ring.
