Hi. I am trying to set up my new Apple Watch to use Apple Pay and unlock with mask etc. however I don’t seem to have the setting ‘Face ID and passcode’ in my list under settings which is where it says I need to switch on the Apple Watch setting.
Apple Phone 11 and Apple Watch 8.3
Thanks

I had the same issue when I was upgrading from iPhone 6s to iPhone XR (iOS 12.1). The menu Face ID & Passcode was missing from the Settings screen. I tried doing a hard reset on the phone but the menu is still missing. I tried a restore via iTunes (12.8, MacOS 10.13.6) on a computer and setup my phone as new (factory reset). As new, I was able to setup Face ID but, after i synced from the last backup, the menu Face ID & Passcode goes missing. Weird!
I finally got it to appear by changing Passcode Changes to Allow (in Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions). If it's already set to Allow (mine was set to Allow 😕), I had to toggle it to Don't Allow and back to Allow. And now Face ID & Passcode is showing! 😮

Hi. Any ideas? Or anyone else who can help? Thanks
Thanks. Yes realise all the different settings in different apps. When I read the apple support guide to setting up paying with watch it says go to Face ID and passcode in settings on the phone. This I don’t have in my list under settings.
Face id and passcode settings is on the phone.
Passcode setting is in the watch app on the phone.
And passcode settings are on the watch.
It's on the first page about a third of the way down in settings and the entry says "Face id & Passcode".
Tap on that to change and setup the settings.
Thanks for reply but it isn’t in my list under settings. I have searched through the list and searched on the phone too. I wonder if I need to reinstall a software version?
Is your phone running ios15 or higher?.
Hi. Yes IOS 15.1.
Face ID and passcode not showing in settings
