No, I'm sorry. BioProtect is a jailbreak tweak.

Thanks I wondered why I couldn't find it. How hard is it to jailbreak now? In the past it used to be easy but I haven't done it in several years.

Well, it's no harder or easier, but it's different.
Everything past 9.1 is what you call a semi-untethered jailbreak now. You have to install a profile that allows you to trust and sideload the JB app. That requires using Cydia Impactor to sign the app with an Apple ID.
If you have a 64-bit device you can use Cydia Extender to keep the app signed, but if not then you have to resign the app every 7 days.
Once that's done, you use the app on the device to jailbreak. Every time you reboot you have to run this app. That's why it's called semi-untethered. You are stock when you boot.
Other than that, the amount of new tweaks being released and old tweaks being updated has declined significantly since iOS 7.
My 6s+ is on iOS 9.0.2, the second to last fully untethered jailbreak. So, I haven't really had to deal with any of these issues much except when I play around with my iPhone 5.

Due to my iPads and an old 7+, I'm still comfortable with both. Though I often try to swipe up now.
I have an X with face and an iPod with touch - I hate touch-id - it is so much less reliable than Face-id . Face almost never fails and touch does most of the time. Takes many times longer to get on with Touch

I haven't tried Face ID but I find Touch on my 7 plus super reliable and much better than my old 6.
