iOS 11's Beta Version Has A 'Cop Lock' Feature That Lets You Quickly Deactivate Your Touch ID

Apple seems to be paying attention to the rising instances of law enforcement agencies abusing their power in the US. The company is giving its users an old way to protect themselves. It is now adding a quick way to disable your Touch ID in iOS 11.

The new feature lets iPhone users tap the power button five times in quick succession to call emergency helplines. Take note, it doesn’t automatically dial for you. Instead, it brings up a quick menu where you can tap to dial, while also offering you the option to temporarily disable your Touch ID until you enter a passcode.
