How to change Face ID animation on iPhone 16 Pro Max?

My IPhone 16 pro max has a different Face ID animation from my relatives IPhone 16 pro max.

Mine is a loading circle with a tick after authentication and my relatives is a sophisticated circle twirl.

It appears that there is only one Face ID animation, the sophisticated circle twirl. But if Face ID authentication is taking longer than expected, it can show the loading animation instead followed by the checkmark.
