Go back to my question iPhone User profile for user: sunny_grl sunny_grl Author User level: Level 1 32 points Face ID not working for app store

Iphone 13 running ios 15.0.1. Face ID is not working in the app store and I have to manually enter my password. I also do not get the "double click" option, but rather, there is an "install button" that I must select. I've toggled app store on and off in the face id section in settings. I've restarted the phone. I've reset the accessibility features for the double click. Still won't work in app store. Face ID appears to be working everywhere else.

iPhone 13, iOS 15

This fixed it for me. I went into: settings >

click your name on the top > media and

purchases > password settings. Turned on

that Free Apps require my password and now

I get the face id prompt again. 😎👍

  • Missing Other Apps toggle for Face ID The Other Apps option is missing from Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Other Apps. I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 13.4.1. Please do not send a link to the Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro article because it literally tells you to go to "Settings > Face ID & Passcode and tap Other Apps." Which of course is no longer present. 2227 1

  • Face ID issue on iPhone 12 Hi there, has anyone found a fix for the missing “other apps” option on Passcode & Face ID. It’s driving us nuts as this was main reason for upgrading due to thumb failure! Face ID otherwise works fine. 1178 3

Understood sunny_grl,

If you go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode, is Use Face ID For selected for iTunes & App Store?

Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro

Cheers!

I’m not sure what your response has to do with my question. I must enter my password every time I download an app because Face ID does not engage. Thanks

Hello sunny_grl,

We understand that your Face ID is not responding when accessing the App Store only. We'd start with the following steps: If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad

Thanks!

I’m having this issue as well on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I don’t know if this related to iOS 15 only.
