Face ID not working when waking my iPhone 12 with "hey Siri"

Hi. Is it normal that after you say "Hey Siri" your Face won't be

scanned? Only after the Siri symbol disappears, the lock opens.... this

is annoying af because you can't start voice commands that require your

phone to get unlocked....


Is there a solution to it?

Not always. I have setup a quick command to turn off and on my studio lights (using google assistent). So when I look at my phone and say "Hey Siri, turn off studio lights" it tells me "You have to unlock your device first". It is super annyoing... it should just do that without me having to unlock my phone or even without even turning on the screen and starting the quick command app...
