My brother is 2 years younger than me and 50LBs heavier than me. For some odd reason he can unlock my phone using Face ID. We tried it a 100 times and it worked a 100 time.
I also tried unlocking his phone using Face ID but I wasn’t able to.
my phone is XS MAX. Any idea what is the issue ??

Use the passcode.
From:
… About Face ID advanced technology - Apple Support
I know of one pair of unrelated adults which can pass Face ID for each other too, though that’s very rare.

In the spirit of “leaving no stone unturned” …
… does your brother know your passcode and could he have possibly setup himself as the 2nd appearance in your FaceID?
(this is FAR more likely w/ child siblings than grown adults)
Suggest you try resetting your FaceID.
If it still unlocks for your brother, congrats; you’re indeed a statistical anomaly. 😉
Thanks for the reply. I am 36 and he is 34. I don’t think that applies. We don’t look a like and I am just trying to understand why this issue is happening.
My brother can unlock iPhone with Face ID
