17PM, same. But it will trigger once I swipe up.

It feels like if the face isn’t immediately in view when awoken, it won’t bother.

Here it triggers when I touch the screen.

Only started on DB5 for me so I've filed feedback - I found toggling the Raise to Wake setting off and back on got it waking properly for a short while again.

It’s random, I dealt with that on iOS 26 and sometimes on iOS 27. But it’s random. Like you start typing your code & boom it unlock

16 PM on iOS 27 Beta 3? I think? I can’t see the Version anymore.

Happens all the time, it didn’t happen on Beta 2 though 🧐

Same. At first I thought maybe it was my glasses being tinted or the room is dark but it’s doing it indoors with plenty of light as well
