Turn off set up reminders. Specifically Face ID

Latest update installed.


Why is there no option to opt out of turning on Face ID? I don’t wish to ever use it.


How does one turn off the set up reminder?


Exact steps would be appreciated as I am not technologically fluent.

Try Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Reset Face ID.


How does one turn off the set up reminder?

I don’t really know what this means. “Set up reminder”?

  • A reminder to set up something?
  • A particular reminder in the Reminders app?


Consider the sentence “I never said he stole money.”

  • It will have six different meanings depending on which word is emphasized.
  • It will have six additional meanings if phrased in the form of a question.
