This Face ID issue will make you regret the iPhone X’s lack of Touch ID

The iPhone X has a sophisticated facial recognition system that has no rival on Android 

when it comes to security. That’s why Face ID can be used to authenticate Apple Pay 

payments and App Store purchases.However, iPhone X users have discovered that they 

can’t use Face ID to approve family purchases. The unexpected annoyance was discovered

 just in time for Christmas, which is when many people find iOS devices under the tree.

Face ID works for regular App Store purchases or other digital content from Apple’s online 

stores, but iPhone users trying to approve purchases for kids or other family members may

 find themselves having to enter passwords manually.There’s a thread on Apple’s support 

forums started on November 11th, that first mentions the problem:

I’m sure that after I set up my iPhone X last weekend, I was able to approve family

purchase requests with Face ID. Now, for every request I get (and with 3 kids I get lots

of them!) I’m being forced to type in my Apple ID password, which is frustrating given

how complicated they have to be these days to be considered secure.

I’ve checked every setting I can find, turned relevant settings off and back on, and even

removed the Apple ID from my phone entirely and set it back up again. But sadly, it still

wants me to type in the full password. Interestingly, it still lets me use Touch ID on my

iPad to approve, so it seems to be specific to the iPhone X/Face ID combo.

Others have observed the same behavior, which seems to be intentional on Apple’s part.

 Apple, meanwhile, has not explained its thinking.One possible explanation may be that 

Apple is trying to prevent children from approving purchases using the iPhone X of their 

parents, as kids can “hack” Face ID and unlock these devices.You can approve purchases

 for family members using your Apple ID password, but that’ll definitely be annoying, 

especially if you’ve been doing it with the help of Touch ID before the iPhone X
