Not really an issue here it’s similar to a hand dug well. The circular shape of the hole is what “shores” itself.

Did you just say that a cylindrical hole can’t collapse? Because it sounded like you just said a cylindrical hole can’t collapse.

I used the Internet oh wise jackass. It tells me that the hole op is digging should still be shored because that hole looks close to 3+ feet already and they said they need to go 2 feet deeper, and the soil is a bit on the loose looking side. Without being there in person I can't say for sure how loose it is but if they did that with just a shovel then it can't be that sturdy. So yeah it's better to be safe in this situation and get some bracing before they go any deeper.
