You will be able to purchase apps from the Play Store with just a touch of your finger in a new revelation with the new Android update. 

Fingerprint support is one of the main features of Marshmallow 6.0 so it seemed only natural for fingerprint purchases to be included. The feature is already enjoyed by iOS users, providing quick access and contributing to a seamless experience on the optimised operating system.

Now Android users with smartphones that will support Marshmallow, and of course a fingerprint scanner. Weirdly enough the feature isn’t automatically on, to access the feature you’ll have to go to Play Store Settings to turn it on.

Currently the Nexus 5X and 6P have the feature, as both will come with Marshmallow out of the box by 27th October. The first third party phone to have Marshmallow out of the box is the HTC One A9, which will launch on November 6th.
