IOS 16.4 includes a new shortcut - Lock Screen. As the name suggests, it locks the screen. But, when this shortcut runs, it locks the screen but doesn't turn it off, and hence the screen instantly gets unlocked by face-id.
Trying to understand the use case for this new shortcut.

For me, if I wait a few seconds just looking at the Lock Screen, the screen turns off and the device is locked. This is what I expected it would do and I wonder why yours doesn't do the same.
Only if, instead of waiting, I swipe up from the bottom will Face ID be activated.

I've added this new "Lock the screen" action to the end of my "Going Out" custom shortcut which turns off Wi-Fi, etc. before I leave home. It gives me the opportunity to check that the correct wallpaper containing my contact email will be displayed in case I lose the device. (My "Going Out" shortcut uses the Set Focus action to switch the Lock Screen wallpaper.)

Screen Lock will unlock with Face ID as soon as you pick up the iPhone.
To turn Raise to Wake on or off, go to Settings > Display & Brightness. On iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Always-On display is turned on by default. Your iPhone will dim the Lock Screen while still displaying helpful information, such as the time, widgets and wallpaper.
I am using iPhone 14 pro. Whenever lock screen comes up on my device, irrespective of how I bring it up, (either by waking up the phone by pressing the side button, or I wake it up by tapping or swiping on the screen), it instantly engages face-id to unlock the phone and unlocks it if I am looking at the screen.
It has nothing to do with the shortcut "lock Screen" it seems.
There should be some way so that on wake up iPhone doesn't automatically bring up face-id and unlocks the phone. Instead it waits for some action like swipe-up to unlock it.
It's not about "Raise to wake" or "Always On". It's about when a user adds the new shortcut "Lock Screen" on the screen and launches it by touching the icon. It will surely lock the screen but face id instantly unlocks it.
This shortcut feature is newly introduced in iOS 16.4.
