How to turn of control centre access from phone when locked

After various warnings to turn of my own control centre from my Lock Screen, I have done so. However, the setting ‘Face ID and passcode’ doesn’t come up on my daughters phone (assuming I’ve restricted it somehow) how do I now turn off control centre from showing on her Lock Screen? Thanks a hundred million if anyone can answer or help.

pleeeaaaaase help 🫠

Go to Settings -> Face ID and Passcode. Youu will be prompted to enter your Passcode and will be promted to the Face ID and Passcode section. Scroll down and you'll find a section ALLOW ACCESS TO WHEN LOCKED. There you toggle off Control Centre.


If Face ID and Passcode option is not visible, go to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content and Privacy Restrictions. Scroll down and you will see a section ALLOW CHANGES TO. The first option under that is Passcode &Face ID. Select that and change it to Allow.


Hope this helps!
