What I did notice though is that if I go into the AppStore app and try to manually download app updates, it doesn’t ask me for a password if I update one app at a time. Still the phone asks me for the password every single day. My toggle for asking password on free downloads (which should also dictate the behaviour when downloading app updates) is in the OFF position. That was the first thing I tried to change to fix this issue. I knew of the “hidden” password menu in iTunes and AppStore menu. It seems the password is being asked for background downloading of app updates. Just so happy that my phone isn’t prompting me every single day for my password, sometimes at midnight when I’m trying to sleep.

I suspect you’ll be able to the switch back on Require Password and also Touch/Face ID for iTunes and App Store, but I haven’t been game yet to try it. Sometime two or three times.Įither way, then you’ll be able to switch Require Password OFF. Either way, select Always Require at the top, authenticate if it asks, then select Require After 15 Minutes. If you’re like me, you’ll have the setting Require Password both switched ON and GREYED OUT. Then go to Settings -> “iTunes and App Store” -> Password Settings at the top (if this doesn’t appear, turn off Screen Time. Turn OFF “iTunes and App Store” under “use Touch/Face ID for” if you’ve had your iPhone ask you for your Apple ID password EVERY DAY since ios13 - I’m about to drop a fix on ya.įirst go to Settings -> “Touch/Face ID & Passcode”
