Both of these messages appeared on my phone while out walking today. The phone was in a pocket; I was listening to music and suddenly the music stopped. Looked at my phone and these messages appeared. What in the world?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Thank you! In doing a bit more digging, it has come to my attention that since the screen of the phone was next to my body, the repeated "bumps" against it caused the phone to register that I was trying to enter the passcode. In the future, I will turn the phone's screen away from me so as to prevent this from happening again. Easy fix, right?
