How to completely disable Face ID on iPhone?

I switched to Face ID and hate it! It doesn’t work repeatedly. I’ve gone into settings and believe I deleted Face ID but it’s still coming up on some accounts. How do I get rid of it?

You can't delete FaceID.


You can reset it so it it isn't active though, by going into Settings ➜ FaceID & Passcode ➜ Reset FaceID.

There's nothing else that can be done.


Other Apps may want to use it, but if tis not set up they will not be able to use it.
