Touch ID for appstore purchases stops working after iOS 8.3 update

[Markiee]

Does anyone experienced the same issue? After the 8.3 update the touch id stops working when purchasing apps, its just asking the password for my apple id every time ill purchase apps without changing the settings prior to update.

Mine is also not working on any of my devices (iPhone 6 plus. iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3). I'm not happy.

Me too with iPhone 6...

My iPhone 5 has failed to work properly after the update as well. They are getting very bad these days with all their 'twiddles' to try to get people to pay more money to them. I think it may be time to start looking around for an older iPhone 4. They seem to be more reliable.

Nikki, how did it get fixed?

Mine is also working again. It just started working by itself but Rene has posted a fix if anyone is still having problems.

I noticed that

I continue to be one of the lucky ones because TouchID on my device wasn't affected by the update.

Actually I am also one of those lucky ones who hasn't had any problems with it. Maybe it was a server thing?

Mine has been doing the same thing both on the iPhone 6 and 5 models with IOS 8. It works the first couple of times then just stops working and then ask me for my PW. Hopefully a fix is on the way.

I thought there was a fix for this?

My 5 ran much better after I restored as new last month. I also gained a bit of space.

Haha.

I'm a veteran apple customer. I am a very very happy owner of an iPhone 5s and an iPad Air 2. I got them recently so they're both running 8.1.2.

And... All updates are turned off. Even for apps.

Wasn't like that before when I used to update my apple devices. I'm not playing that game now.

I looked at the 8.3 update. There's nothing there for me. My device runs perfectly. So why update?
