Hopefully someone can help as it’s driving me mad…

Usually I’d get the Face ID prompt to download an app from the App Store, but today I’m not.

I’ve toggled the option on and off within the Face ID setting, signed out and back in to iCloud, re-added my cards to wallet and tried restarting the phone itself.

Nothing works?! It just always prompts me to type in my password, even for the free apps when the setting is set to off regarding asking for a password to download free apps.

Phone is fully updated, and it’s a 13 mini not that it should really matter.

EDIT - Must have been an issue server side as it’s working again now. Anyone else experience this?

The only time I have had it ask for the password is after shutting down or rebooting my iPhone. After that it doesn't ask for the password again for me.
