Not able to use Face ID for Password for Notes on iphone Xs

I am trying to activate my Face ID for password for Notes, without success.

I go to Settings - Notes and then attempt to activate Face ID before entering password, but the button remains greyed out. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you

iPhone XS, iOS 13

Hey TheDuke65,


We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about enabling Face ID for your locked Notes. If you haven't already, check out the section "Before you begin" here: How to lock notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


You'll also want to ensure you already have Face ID set up. Just in case, here's how: Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro


Keep us posted on the results.


Take care.
