What if my Face ID is compromised

What if my Face ID is compromised

on some of my apps I don’t even have to look at the screen and it just opens up when it’s utilizing the Face ID aspect of security. Then other times I can not get my own phone to accept my face for recognition.

Parts and service history

With iOS 15.2 and later and iPhone XR, iPhone XS models, and later—including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)—you can go to Settings > General > About for the parts and service history of your iPhone. You can also find out if the battery has been replaced. If the replacement was done using genuine Apple parts and processes, "Genuine Apple Part" will appear next to Battery.
