Try checking if iPhone Unlock is enabled.

Go to:

Settings > Face ID & Passcode > at the top - is iPhone Unlock enabled? If not, enable it.

Face ID only unlocks my iPhone lock, not working with Apps? My Face ID is working fine, however, it now only unlocks my phone, it doesn’t open it as it always has, Face ID is opening all my apps, it’s not that. I think I changed something in settings maybe? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
