FaceID for third party apps

Hello,


From the Apple Keynote, it wasn't very clear if iPhone X's FaceID will work out of the box with third-party apps which are currently using TouchID?


Do all third-party apps currently using TouchID have to update their apps to use FaceID taking a lot of time in the process as was the case when TouchID when it first came out.


Thanks,

P

"During an interview with Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi dropped in an interesting and important tidbit that someone caught on Reddit. In a nutshell, Face ID will “just work.” Thanks to the way Apple implemented Face ID in iOS 11, any app that currently makes use of Touch ID for authentication will automatically work with Face ID. There will be no work needed on the developer’s part, so users won’t have to wait for Face ID to work with their favorite apps."
