My iPhone asks for passcode with Face ID

Thanks for the reply; my “early-on” reply to which I assume you’re referring was an attempt to help inform those who might not otherwise understand what constitutes “normal” OS behavior.

Clearly, as the thread progressed, it became more and more apparent that abnormal behavior was indeed being observed.

Thanks for your kind comments about this region. It’s indeed a GREAT place to live. And having some of the fastest, symmetric speed internet available anywhere to EVERY “plain ol’ consumer” — via FTTH to every premises — is a huge plus.

This is infuriating.

When I’m driving and need the GPS, instead of unlocking with Face ID, I have to unlock with a passcode. Great, take my eyes off the road for several seconds so I can enter my code.

Heck finger print scanner would make it so much easier. But thank you for not including that on my iPhone 13.

Electronic devices are supposed to make life easier. Not more difficult. Thank you for ruining the experience Apple.

After work I’m going to buy an unlocked Android phone and go back to team green. This is appalling.

Good bye Apple. Kiss my subscriptions good bye as well.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. So, threats here will only be seen by other users. You can let Apple know your thoughts here:

Product Feedback - Apple

Did you have Apple run diagnostics on your phone? Or did you just assume that Apple would magically fix something of which they were unaware? Did you do any troubleshooting? If so, what?

And while not “officially published” IMO: “So you don’t forget it !!!

As a forgotten passcode requires a non-trivial restoration procedure (involving total erasure of the iOS device)

Has anyone helped you with this, because this is happening to me also. Even while I’m using my phone set it down for a minute and I have to reenter my passcode. It’s maddening.

Where is the answer?

Getting the same issue here. Apparently no useful response so far? I keep getting a request for my passcode several times a day. Even after I just unlocked it a few minutes ago. Really annoying.

Non of this works at all

No answers to this? Wow

I never have access to my iPhone’s passcode, and I have to use genius tricks to open the phone, and it annoys me when I work hard to gaslight my mom into giving me Face ID

same and it's driving me nuts!

Same issue here. iPhone 15 Pro Max, i tried everything including a complete phone reset. But after a while it gets back.

I'm starting to think that it's a hardware issue

So still no solution for this still? I am encounter the same issue too. I am android user too, at least they have alternative method to to unlock instantly with fingerprint. Poor iphone

This has worked for me so far — although it seems it’s been pretty slow now to finalise the face recognition. But at least no more passcode required every few minutes! Thanks

I think you may be right. I never had this problem with my iPhone X (yup, kept it until I jumped up to XV Pro Max and now it seems that was a good move).
