How to Download & Buy Apps Without Typing Your Apple ID Password (Face ID)
Double-Tap to Buy: Use Face ID / Touch ID for App Purchases (iOS 26)
Want to download apps or make purchases without typing your Apple ID password every time? In this video I’ll show you how to enable Face ID (or Touch ID) for iTunes & App Store purchases so you can double-tap and confirm downloads quickly — plus important security tips you MUST know.
This works on iPhones running iOS 26 and newer.
🔧 Step-by-step (follow in order)
1. Open Settings → tap Face ID & Passcode (enter your device passcode to proceed).
2. Under the “Use Face ID For” (or “Use Touch ID For”) section, toggle on “iTunes & App Store.”
3. Also toggle on any Payments / Contactless / In-App Purchases options shown (label varies slightly by model/iOS; it might appear as “Apple Pay & iTunes” or “Contactless Payments”).
4. Now, when you download an app or make a purchase, instead of typing your Apple ID password you simply double-tap the Side button (or press the Home button for Touch ID models) and authenticate with Face ID / Touch ID.
5. The purchase or download will proceed without typing your Apple ID password.
⚠️ Important Security Note
• Enabling these options makes buying faster, but anyone with physical access to your unlocked iPhone who can pass Face ID or Touch ID could make purchases.
• If you share your phone or frequently hand it to others, consider leaving the purchase password requirement ON or enabling Require Password for Purchases in Screen Time/Restrictions.
• Always check your Purchase/Order history and set up Ask to Buy / Family Sharing if minors use your account.
