Guys, I've just bought an iPhone 11 - my first ever Face ID phone. But for some reason, even though Ive set up Face ID and for it to be required Immediately, when I unlock the phone it just unlocks without me even looking at the phone. I've faced it against a wall and it has still unlocked. I've checked the settings, and all is as it should be. What am I doing wrong?
Got a tip for us?

Maybe you set up face id to only work for purchases? This is strange, I've got nothing, just try and delete it and reenable it i guess.

On a sidenote, on my moms iPhone 11, i set up my face as a test, and it won't unlock 95% of the time. I still have my face saved, so maybe face id on the 11 is just glitchy in general

Thanks for tour reply. I’m going to try the latest update and see how I go. It is very strange. If the update doesn’t work, I’m going to reset the phone and start again.
