Why doesn’t my Touch ID work to download apps anymore? I used to be able to download apps with my Touch ID and now I can’t. Why is that?

Problem with Touch ID in App Store I have a new iPad Air and have ITunes and App Store enable with Touch ID in the settings, but every time I want to download an app it asks me for my code instead of my Touch ID. I’ve read that others are having this problem but I haven’t been able to solve it.

Touch ID in App Store doesn't work Hello Apple Community, Yesterday I unboxed my new iPad (9th Generation) and I activated the Touch ID feature. After the set up of the iPad I went to the App Store and it asked me my Apple ID password (I’m not dump, I know that the first time of use it asks you password 😉) and after one day I realised that that every time that I’m trying to install an app it asks me the password again and again… I tried anything: Toggled on and off the iTunes and App Store option within the Touch ID and Passcode, I restarted the tablet and I even updated to iPadOS 17… What else I can do? (The option to use Touch ID in App Store is turned on)

To fix the issue, first, check if Touch ID is enabled for App Store purchases in your iPhone settings. If it's on, try restarting your iPhone and retrying the purchase. If the problem persists, delete and re-add your fingerprints in the Touch ID settings. If none of these work, consider updating your iOS version or contacting Apple Support.
