Ensure the Home button and your finger are clean and dry. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and try re-registering your fingerprint. Restart the device.
Slow performance or app crashes.
Close unused apps from the multitasking view. Restart the iPhone. Check available storage space; free up space if it's low. Update iOS if an update is available and compatible.

Toggle Wi-Fi or Bluetooth off and then on. Restart your iPhone and your router/Bluetooth device. Reset network settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
