Hi @Iso

If you are using Apple iPhone,

1. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. 
2. Tap Set Up Face ID.

You can find the Touch ID and Face ID feature on the iPhone once you open the app.

At the bottom right hand corner "Account"  then " Settings" at the bottom you will see authentication options.

All the best - MongiIG

Thanks - sorted out now

I am in a slightly different position.

I have installed the IG app on my iphone (IOS 15.2) which has face id defined but cannot use it to log in.

When I go to the Account > Settings menu, I don't see an authentication option.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Hi @Levo,

Could you please confirm that your Face ID is activated on your phone settings ?


On the IG app if you select Account at the bottom right then Settings, then scroll down to Account settings you should be able to see the Touch ID and Face ID options to toggle on.

Feel free to reach out to helpdesk.uk@ig.com with a screenshot for further assistance.

I hope that it helps.

Hi Arvin, thanks for the prompt response.

As I said in my original post, I have it all set up and use it for Iphone system tasks and 2 other apps. All four buttons are green as per your picture too.

I deleted the IG app and download/installed it again just in case. No change.

This is the Settings screen I get

Hi @Levo,

I forwarded your query to the iOS development team directly to come back to me with a answer.

I will let you know as soon as I have an answer.

Thank you - Arvin

Hi @Levo,

On your Iphone, go to Settings  then scroll down to your apps and IG Trading.



The option to enable Face ID should be there.

I hope that it helps.

Hi Arvin,

Thanks for following up. Unfortunately something strange is going on here. I don't have the option under that menu either.

I don't have that option either. I am using the latest version of both the app and iOS.

I can use Face ID for other apps. Very odd.

Hi @Levo @andysinclair,

Happy new year!

I will forward your screenshot and feedback to the relevant department to find a solution.

Thank you - Arvin

Hi, 

can jump in and confirm that I don’t have the FaceID option at all. Similarly to the others FaceID doesn’t appear in settings for IG trading.

Hi @Plamen

Just to confirm did you try the following by adding Face ID authentication in your iPhone trading app by selecting ‘more’ from the menu at the bottom of the app, then ‘settings’, then by sliding the button next to ‘Face ID authentication’ to the right ?

What IOS version are you using? So I can forward your feedback to the relevant department to find a solution.

Same problem here. Never could use face ID then late last year it suddenly was working. Then a few weeks later was gone again and I cant find the option to put it back on at all as per your suggestions. Have the latest IOS.

Hi. Did anyone get a response from IG as to what went wrong here?

I do not have the FaceID option within "Account Settings" in the IG Trading App. it is also not within the App settings in iOS either. my screenshots are just like the ones earlier in this thread.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

my app version is 10.1455.2. iOS version 17.1.2. iphone 12.

Thanks

Hi @db8000,

Thank you for your post.

Please note that you need to go to your phone Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Other Apps > Enable it for the  IG Trading App. See below

Then go to your IG app and go to Account > Settings > Face ID Authentication. 

You won't be able to see this on your IG App if FaceID & Passcode is not enabled from your phone settings.

Thanks,

KoketsoIG

It's not working for me neither.

The app is not in  the "Other Apps" section of the Face ID settings.

Any ideas? I've already deleted and re-downloaded the app from the App Store, and still not working.

Thanks

Hi @andysinclair,

Kindly allow the IG app to use Face ID as in the below screenshot.

Thanks but I don't have that option:

And I don't see IG as one of the Face ID apps.

Not sure why this is happening!

Thanks for picking this up @KoketsoIG  this is a screenshot of my settings

 

[db8000]

It’s not in my ‘other apps’ either. I can’t enable it for IG Trading. 
the option isn’t in the IG app account settings either.

Hi @db8000 and @andysinclair,

I'm not sure what the issue could be, but you can find assistance on Apple support pages. Here is a helpful link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254763003?sortBy=best . Please check it out and let us know if it works. 

Thanks,

Morning @KoketsoIG

I've now looked at that thread. I have the required permissions 'allowed'. FaceID works for every other app but IG Trading.

This is something peculiar to IG. Particularly as others are suffering with the same problem.

Back in 2022, @MongiIG referred it to your technical department. Was there a solution?

Same here, all other apps work fine with FaceID, only IG has an issue.

It looks to me (I'm a software developer) as if iOS is not detecting that FaceID is a capability of the IG app.

Hi @db8000 and @andysinclair,

Thank you for your feedback. We have forwarded it to the product team so that they are aware of this for future updates.

Thanks,

KoketsoIG

[db8000]

Thanks. if it helps concentrate the product team's minds - i now only use IG for long term investments as it's laborious to type in a long random-character password every time on a phone. i use a competitor for daily stuff as i can login quickly wherever i am!

The lack of FaceID does have a commercial consequence...

thanks for looking into this though.
