There may be times when you don’t want to use Face ID to unlock your iPhone. Maybe you’re in a situation where you don’t want others to be able to access your device, or you just don’t feel comfortable using your face as your password. Whatever the reason, there are ways to disable Face ID for specific apps.
One way to do this is by going into the Settings app and disabling Touch ID & Passcode. This will disable Face ID as well as Touch ID. However, if you only want to disable Face ID for certain apps, there’s a better way. You can head into the Settings app and go to Face ID & Passcode. From here, scroll down to the “Other Apps” section and toggle off the switch next to the app that you don’t want to use Face ID with.

If you’re using an iPhone X, you can use your face to unlock and sign in to the App Store. Here’s how:
1. Open the Settings app and tap “Face ID & Passcode”.
2. Turn on “App Store” under “Use Face ID For”.
3. Exit the Settings app.
Now, when you open the App Store, you’ll be asked to sign in with your face. Just look at the camera and follow the on-screen prompts. If you’d like to use your face to unlock apps other than the App Store, you can turn on “Unlock iPhone” under “Use Face ID For” in the Settings app. Keep in mind that turning on this setting will disable the passcode requirement when unlocking your iPhone with Face ID.
You can also use Face ID to make purchases in the App Store. Just make sure that “Use Face ID for Purchases” is turned on under “Face ID & Passcode” in the Settings app. With this setting enabled, you can use Face ID to confirm your identity when making purchases in the App Store. You’ll still be asked to enter your password if it’s been more than 15 minutes since you last unlocked your iPhone.

3. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up Face ID.
You’ll need to scan your face in various positions and lighting conditions. Once Face ID is set up, you can start using it to unlock your iPhone and confirm purchases in the App Store. Keep in mind that you can still use a passcode to unlock your iPhone if Face ID isn’t working for some reason.
