Random Face ID Prompts

Over the past week my iphone 11 randomly prompts me to do face id.

it has happened three different times


Once I was on instagram

Once I was on my home screen changing apps

Once I was on safari


none of these times it gave me any context and there was no reason for it i wasn’t trying to buy anything or put any password in it was during completely random use.
