Why does my iPhone 11pro max have two imei numbers?

I’ve just recently noticed after the iOS 14.3 update that when I post on Facebook from my iPhone 11pro max I get a privacy alert saying browser not recognize and shows that I used an iPhone 6s to make the post instead, which is impossible. At the same time I noticed I have two different imei numbers, one says primary and the other says digital sim. Numbers are different. Would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand or should I be concerned. Thank you

a phone with a sim card and an eSim has two IMEI one for each

some of the model with 2 sim cards and 1 esim card would have 3

the IMEI is the unique number for a separate cellular identity

if you want to know more International Mobile Equipment Identity - Wikipedia

I’ve never seen two imei numbers on my iPhones before so forgive me if it’s common on these new phones but I know something is wrong with the security notifications in FB not recognizing browser and saying used with iPhone 6s when I actually used the 11 pro max.
