There’s some behavior on my 15pro that annoys me. Whenever I receive a notification when the screen is locked and the phone is near me, it attempts a FaceID unlock. A few notifications means a few failed unlock attempts, and then to really unlock it I have to put in my passcode.

I presume this is because it sees a face nearby and tries to authenticate and fails because my face is too far away or at a bad angle. For example, I leave my phone on my desk so I can see notifications.

Anybody have a way to prevent this? Thanks for any info.

Disable biometrics is the easiest thing..

You can't change your face, but someone can steal it...
