How do I disable Face ID on iPhone 16 Pro max

I no longer want to use Face ID for security reasons while traveling and I cannot find a method to do that.

There is no FACE ID option in my settings


iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Are you using Screen Time restrictions? If you have Passcode Changes set to Don't Allow, then you will not see the FaceID & Passcode option in Settings. Check at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Passcode Changes.
