Why can't I turn off Face ID to open Photos App?

Why can't I turn off the requirement for Face ID to open Photos app?? I have attempted to turn off the require Face ID to open photos app to no avail. It's a if I can't change the setting. I went to settings app, Face ID and Passcode and toggled if off, restarted the phone and it still requires Face ID to unlock app. I'm using iPhone 17 Pro Max with software version 26.6
