To download apps on your iPhone XR using Face ID, you need to enable Face ID for iTunes & App Store purchases within your settings.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Open Settings: Locate and tap the "Settings" app on your iPhone XR.
-
Navigate to Face ID & Passcode: Scroll down and tap on "Face ID & Passcode".
-
Enter Your Passcode: You'll be prompted to enter your passcode for security reasons.
-
Enable iTunes & App Store: Look for the "iTunes & App Store" toggle switch. If it's off (gray), tap it to turn it on (green).
Now, when you try to download an app from the App Store, the system will prompt you to use Face ID to confirm your purchase instead of requiring you to enter your Apple ID password every time. Simply look at your iPhone XR when prompted, and the download will proceed if Face ID recognizes your face.
Troubleshooting:
- Face ID Not Working? Ensure that Face ID is properly set up on your iPhone XR. You can manage Face ID settings in "Settings" > "Face ID & Passcode".
- Software Update Needed? Sometimes, an outdated iOS version can cause issues. Check for and install any available software updates in "Settings" > "General" > "Software Update".
- Restart Your iPhone: A simple restart can often resolve minor software glitches.
By following these steps, you'll be able to download apps quickly and securely on your iPhone XR using Face ID.
