Face/fingerprint login works fine on Android. The lack of Add to Wallet within the app has available the very simple workaround I just posted.

Haven't noticed removal of any useful features but have noticed the app has gotten more "buggy". Seems to hang up occasionally, which never used to happen.

Not in iPhones. We shouldn't have to use that workaround to add to wallet.

Does your United iOS app let you log into your account with your Face ID after logging out?

I don't use Face ID, so can't advise on that one.

Was there ever an "add to wallet" button in the Android app? It seems odd that iOS has it and Android doesn't. Why would UA do this? I get that there is a workaround, but is there a difference in comparing this method to what a native solution would be like?

30 days ago when I checked in for my DEN-MUC flight, the electronic BP had a save to wallet button. Just checked in for my return, and no button.

Did UA change the app, or is this just a bug?

I just had a similar problem. I had a save to wallet button for AUA-EWR bp, but no save to wallet button for EWR-SFO.

Current BP for today's flight in Android App does indeed have the "Save to Wallet" button. You have to slide the bottom shade of the BP page to reveal it.

It's understandable to feel frustrated when features you rely on are removed from an app. United's recent decisions, like eliminating face ID login and the "add to wallet" option, might disrupt users' convenience and experience. Providing feedback to the airline about these changes could encourage them to reconsider or improve future updates.

I did let United agent know about it, but will they put it back?

Was able to "add to wallet" for EWR-LHR both legs this past weekend.

A bit confused. I just logged out and back in and received a prompt for FaceID enrollment. And Add to Wallet is an available option, just relocated as discussed above.

Both your concerns relate to iOS?
