Face ID is just a secondary “unlocking method.” Anytime anything fishy, or unusual is being done with the iPhone, ex. Restarting, updating, wrong Face ID too many times, etc., the iPhone will always have you use the passcode. I guess better security.


We’re sorry to hear that your daughter is going to loose photos that most likely mean a lot to her. Hopefully you will find that the iPhone was backed up.
