IOS 8.3 and password for free apps

I have just updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.3.
From what I have read that it is now possible to download free apps without entering the password. But I still have to enter the password. I've Touch ID enabled, are this the problem?

thanks
I did actually already have the setting in the correct place.
Done nothing new
BUT
my son informs me it is now working OK.
who knows?
but - happy child  - so all sorted!

    You cannot set it elsewhere.

    iTunes Store.  Send by email prompt not working.  How do I accept the new terms and agreements to access a free app?

    Hi there Glo1103,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • IOS6 still asks for password for free App updates

    I thought free App updates are supposed to install without requiring my app store password to be re-entered, yet my iPad 2 still asks me for it each time. (my iPhone 4 is fine, free updates install without asking for my password).  What am I missing here? Is there some weird hidden away setting I need to configure on my iPad?
    Thx

    My iPad 3 running iOS 6 doesn't ask me for a password if I update Apps.
    I don't think that I have any weird setting set.

  • How to disable password for free apps/songs?

    Is there a way to disable having to enter your password in the App Store or on iTunes to download free songs or apps?  I've looked all over in settings, so perhaps I've just overlooked it?

    If you purchase again within 15 minutes of the first purchase it will not ask for your password. After that it will. I don't believe it can be changed.

  • TS1702 why do i have to put in password for free apps

    why do i have to put a password in for free apps

    That's how it is.  But really, do you want anyone who happens to get his hands on your iPad to download whatever? It's your account, and entering a password insures you are in control.

  • TS1702 How do change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password for the apps store?

    How do you change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password in order to get updated apps from the app store?

    Do you mean you kept the same account but you only updated your AppleID?
    Just log out and log back in with new ID.
    Note that the AppleID is embedded into the item at purchase and cannot be changed.
    However, when you change your AppleID, it will link the old account name to the new account name so you will not have any problems updating apps using the new AppleID.

  • Why I must enter my password for free apps? Is there a way to download to my apple id without entering my password for free app every time?

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store?

    In case we need to create free issues or even apps for iPad (from a non-profit organization), what will the incurred costs be through the whole process?
    i.e. From the time of development of issues and the app in which the issues may work - is there any registration or license fees involved, till it reaches all customers - provided the package is for free?
    Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store for iOS apps for iPad?

    You must pay the USD$99 fee to join the Individual Developer Program.
    After that, there is no fee to put free apps into the iOS App Store.
