best way to turn off passcode on iphone?

Spent an hour last night trying to turn off passcode on iphone. I'm on an ipad that's a few years old, if that makes a difference. What's the step i'm missing? Cheers.

If what you really want is less hassle rather than no passcode, Change Passcode > Passcode Options lets you pick a 4-digit one instead of 6. You keep Face ID and Apple Pay that way.

Settings > Face ID & Passcode (Touch ID & Passcode on older ones) > Turn Passcode Off, then enter the code once more. Know what you lose though. Face ID or Touch ID stops working, your Apple Pay cards get removed, and anyone who picks the phone up gets straight into your photos and messages. If the option is greyed out, there's usually a work or school profile on the phone that requires a passcode. Check Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
