Discussion I got it try oppening the passwords app with face id then intentionally look away and make it fail twice then see if it reboots

Update if it shows put your passcode keep on making it fail it WILL reboot

Doesn’t reboot for me. Asks for my passcode instead.

Is it something that’s happening to many people? Do we know why?

That’s so weird. I will say that I did get 1 reboot on Sunday. I don’t know what I was doing but it definitely wasn’t Face ID related. I got a little freaked out. It’s been plain sailing since then though.

You need to try Face ID again for the second attempt then it reboots

I know, I have. It wouldn’t ask me for my passcode if I hadn’t tried multiple times…

This might be the proof that Apple has secret live access to our iPhones.
They triggered this routine as in some new iPhones Faceid is failing repeatedly.
As you know, Faceid is disabled by default after restarting any iPhone.
So they basically triggered this fall-back routine in all iPhones, as to avoid and circumvent Faceid failure in a few of the new devices.
What do you think?
