On April 10, according to foreign media reports, if you haven't downloaded and installed iOS 8.3 yet, then you should postpone it. Some users reported that they can no longer use the Touch ID payment function after the update.

Apple released the final version of iOS 8.3 yesterday, which adds more emojis, upgrades Siri and supports wireless CarPlay, in addition to a series of patches and interface tweaks. But today, users on Reddit, Twitter and Apple's official forums reported that iOS 8.3 prevented them from using Touch ID to pay in iTunes and the Apple App Store. It is not clear how widespread this problem is. There are other complaints about iOS 8.3 in the forums, but they are relatively niche.

In addition, even if users have updated, there is no need to worry too much. You can still download apps with password authentication, and the fingerprint sensor can still unlock the device. This problem is the same for users who use web downloads and install updates through iTunes. Apple has not yet made any official comments.

Previously, iOS 8 updates were plagued with problems. First, on the day of iOS 8’s release, its new feature HealthKit was forced offline due to a program bug. Then, iOS 8.1 initially had the dilemma of being unable to connect to wireless networks and becoming bricked. Of course, there were all kinds of annoying bugs, such as WiFi vulnerabilities that made the connection very unstable, and sometimes even impossible to connect, a problem that iOS 8.2 did not completely solve. Apple released seven updates in the first three days of iOS 8’s release, which made people begin to wonder whether Apple had changed its creed of striving for excellence in its products.
