iPhone X App Store Accidential purchases with Face ID?

[cleebrown93]

I had a thought, sometimes I will hit a paid app by mistake or an in app purchase by mistake and then it pulls up for Touch ID to confirm purchase. With the iPhone X, I imagine Face ID would pop to verify purchase. So what if you are already looking at the screen, would it automatically verify an accidential purchase? I could see this happening a lot.

I think you have to double press the side button - I think it was mentioned in the iMore review

Yep, it looks just like this except the side button is actually animated.
