Someone else can unlock my iPhone with their Face ID. This is a huge flaw in iPhone security. How does this happen?

Do you often hand them your device when locked? Are they a family member? A child?

the odds of any random person in the public being able to unlock your device is very small, around 1 in a million.

Change your passcode and don’t share it.

Reset your FaceID; installing only your face.

Then see if this “2nd person” can still unlock your phone.

Don’t share your unlocked phone.
