5. Yes, it's easy to retrain it

I have a very old iPhone (and iOS), but for me, to retrain it:

- Settings
- Touch ID & Passcode
- Fingerprints

Select the old fingerprint and delete it. Then 'Add a fingerprint' to retrain.

You can add multiple fingers and name them ))

I seem to need to retrain every six months or so now. Not sure why but I think my aging hands are a factor.
