Touch ID not working on my iPhone SE to download apps.

Recently upgraded to iPhone SE third generation. I have done everything suggested by Apple, and App Store is still asking me to login rather than using the touch ID. I’ve deleted a fingerprint, reset up a fingerprint, from the device off and back on again. Nothing seems to work

For the first time downloading an app after deleting/setting up a fingerprint, you will be required to log in with your apple ID in the app store. After the first time, you will be able to use touch ID to download apps. There is also a possibility that in your settings -> password/touch ID you may have not checked the download apps with touch ID button which you will need to do to use touch ID to download apps.


Hope this helped
