    Yes but if you shut off your phone, your fingerprints won’t unlock it unless you provide your pin/password. Apple has the ability to do this by clicking the power button 5 times quickly. You can also hold the power and one of the volume buttons for a few seconds to get the same effect. You should always do this if you encounter authorities.
