Keychain / Apple Pay

Unlocking the iPhone works with a mask on and Apple Watch, but it is frustrating because using Apple Pay or Keychain still requires you to unmask or type in your password which is frustrating. Bring back TouchID

Not my experience went back to iPhone6 while my iPhone X was getting fixed. TouchID worked for me. I would go back to iPhone 6, but it doesn’t pair with Apple Watch. If they allow a combination of FaceID/Apple Watch to unlock with masks they should allow apple apps to also work with it. My hope in posting this is that someone that actually knew could explain why. Back to not an helpful answer.

It works if you don’t use hand sanitiser but stores in my country insist on it, plus once my groceries have been put through the pay point I want to sanitise before handling and contaminating my phone. Maybe you don’t.

You posted a statement not a question so I have carte blanche to answer any way I want. You were not asking for help.
