I just read that Passcode is required immediately if I use Touch ID and yet, when I search settings for “Touch”, Touch ID doesn’t even appear!! How do I get out of the “Passcode Immediately Required” trap?

You have an iPhone 11 and Touch ID is not available on that model. Face ID is available.

Which app were you using when you received that notification about the passcode?

It wasn’t really app-specific. I was working on the yard. The phone was in low-power mode so it was going to sleep quickly and I had to use face-ID or enter the passcode over and over. I just want to increase the time before the passcode is required but “immediately” is the only option granted.
