iPhone 15 pro max missing facial recognization and passcode tabs.

My iPhone 15 pro max has no passcode / facial recognization setting and phone is open to all. I updated iOS and restarted . Passcode is only required when I power on…any suggestions are appreciated .

Are you suggesting if you open Settings - there is no option there (below Screen Time) for Face ID & Passcode?


If the option is missing completely:


  • Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  • Turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  • Tap Allow Changes > Passcode Changes.
