if i got a cut on my finger can i still unlock my iphone with my same fingerprint ?

[Nancy the Girl]

after my wound healed ?

or my fingerprint will change for ever because of the cut ?

Depends how badly you cut it (in terms of size of the cut, not the depth). Just register more than one finger so you can unlock your phone to register the cut finger if it affects the recognition.

Depends how deep, but doubtful. You could always just use your passcode and do the finger print set up again.

unless it produces scar tissue, your print is your print forever.

It can, as scar tissue doesn't retain the fingerprint. It can be re-registered with a scarred finger though. It would likely take a pretty serious cut to actually affect the fingerprint enough to stop it from registering.

 

If you get a cut that takes a significant amount of the "pad" of your fingertip, it's more likely to affect the fingerprint than just a normal cut.
