Calendar's Scheduled Reminders feature gets disabled when Face ID is enabled for both Calendar & Reminders apps in iPhone's iOS v26.6.1. Is there really no way to have Calendar app show my scheduled reminders with Face ID enabled for both Calendar and Reminders apps? :(
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Yes, that behavior is consistent with how Apple’s app locking works. When you lock an app with Face ID, Apple says information from that locked app is prevented from appearing in other places on the iPhone. Lock or hide an app on iPhone – Apple Support
So if Reminders is locked, Calendar may no longer be allowed to display reminder information from it. Apple documents using reminders directly in Calendar, but I don’t see a supported setting that makes an exception for Calendar while keeping Reminders locked.

For now, if you want scheduled reminders to appear in Calendar, I’d remove Require Face ID from Reminders. You could leave Calendar itself locked if you still want some protection there.
