I am looking to bypass iPhone Face ID and passcode

Yesterday, I handed my iPhone to my son so he could watch some cartoons while I cooked dinner. Everything was peaceful for a while—until I heard the dreaded sound of too many failed passcode attempts. Apparently, he got bored of the videos and started randomly tapping numbers on the screen like it was a toy. Next thing I know, my phone is locked out completely, and it’s now asking for the passcode instead of Face ID.

Now I’m stuck, unable to get into my own phone, and of course, all my important stuff is in there—calls, notes, work apps, everything. I'm trying not to panic, but I really need to find a way in.

Does anyone know how to bypass iPhone Face ID and passcode after being locked out?

I’ve actually been in the exact same situation not too long ago, my phone got locked after my little cousin kept guessing the passcode for fun. I couldn’t get in at all, and Face ID wasn’t working anymore. After stressing out for a bit, I ended up trying Passixer iPhone Unlocker, and it honestly saved me. It removed the lock screen completely even without the passcode and I was able to get back into my phone pretty quickly. The process was simple and worked well with my iPhone.

Those Unlockers are mostly scams and it would surprise me if any of them actually works. Why don't you just restore the phone from your latest iCloud backup?
