App Store no option for Face ID?

The AppStore forces me to type in a password to download an app. Face ID does NOT even present its self as an option.


Face ID DOES work with unlocking my phone and all other passwords but for some reason the App Store wont even try to use face idea and it forces me to use a password every time. I’ve tried turn it on and off. Rebooting phone and more.

Go to Settings>Face ID and Passcode


Have you turned on to use Face ID in iTunes and the App Store?
