CANT DOWNLOAD ANY APPS (ASSISTIVE TOUCH) - Apple Community


Go into the settings, and accessibility. Then go to "touch", and turn off assistive touch. Then go to the very bottom of the page, and make sure the "confirm with assistive touch" is off. Then go back to accessibility, and open the "Face ID and attention". Turn on "Require attention for Face ID". You can go to the bottom, and turn on "Haptic on Successful Authentication" I use that, because it will play a little noise, and display a check mark when downloading apps and paying with apple pay, to show it was successful.
