Disable Face ID on iPhone 15

Question

Disable Face ID on iPhone 15

I have no desire to use Face ID but cannot find any way in settings to disable it. I also want the "finish setting up your iPhone" message to disappear because I do not want to enable either Face ID or Apple Wallet. As far as I'm concerned, the safest way to protect against theft of financial information is to not have it on the iPhone.

Windows, Windows 6

I do not see any of these options in settings - possibly because I haven’t set Face ID up??? Do I have to set it up in order to disable it???
