Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Touch ID

I clicked “never” to use Touch ID on an app I now frequently use. Is there a way to change this selection and begin using Touch ID for the app?

iPad Air, iPadOS 13

My thought would be to look in the settings for that app and see if there’s a way to turn it on.


Or if it’s an app where you won’t lose any data, delete app and redownload it to set it back up again. So say it’s a banking app or the such where you won’t lose any data then deleting and reinstalling should be relatively painless.


If it’s a game or something then you may lose your progress.
