Touch ID was first made by Apple Inc. as a fingerprint recognition security feature on iPhones. It was used to unlock iPhones, for purchases on app stores, and to use Apple Pay. Touch ID was first introduced in 2013 with iPhone 5S, and with time the Touch ID was improved and added to even more Apple products. Although the Touch ID is still used and incorporated in many Apple products today, Face ID, a facial recognition security feature, is used a lot in the new Apple phones. Face ID was introduced in 2017 with the iPhone X and created quite the commotion among many Apple product users.

How the Touch ID works is it uses a sensor to pass a small current to the user's finger and create a 'fingerprint map'. This map is then stored in a chip in your phone called the Apple A7 so hackers cannot externally access that information.
