It may not be connected but I've noticed since installing the Apple iOS 9.1 beta on my iPhone 6 plus that the fingerprint/touch id option is no longer requested and the option doesn't appear in the Settings (it was in Login right?). Anyone else see this too or am I missing something ;-() PayPal app version is v5.12(31).

Hi barryrowland,
Thanks for reaching out to us here! I just moved over to 9.1 myself, but the fingerprint login is still available for me. You may want to try uninstalling and re-installing the app to see if this works. 🙂
I hope this helps!

No joy. I tried that and still no fingerprint option. I have an iPhone 6 plus and in the app settings > login section the fingerprint option isn't even there! Crazy. Any other ideas are appreciated. Having it sure made using the app so much easier 😉

This still doesn't appear to be resolved. I have followed the advice to uninstall/reinstall. Nothing in the settings mentiones Touch ID. Erica, can you please provide us with a more informative update? Thanks!

I have the same problem after updating to 9.1 . Finger print ID does not appear for PayPal anymore. I tryed deleting and reinstalling the app. I tried setting the phone back to factory default and reinstalling every thing. No luck ;-( I am on AT&T and not Verizon who has blocked it on some phones.
