Think who already fit unlock your phone

Hidden album use device authentication

Add vault PIN to Face ID

If another person fit use Face ID for your device, app wey accept only Face ID fit no give separation wey you expect. For supported Apple devices, Private Photo Vault^® fit require Face ID and vault PIN together.

If that combination dey on, biometric access alone no enough to open vault. Availability depend on device and app settings. Check actual unlock steps after you change setting, instead of assuming say Face ID always need both methods.
