iPhone unlocking itself

My iPhone is unlocking without a password/face-id even when the feature is turned on in settings. And all answered community questions that are answered they just explain what should be happening. I recently got an Apple Watch so that may be what’s causing the problem, however if it is I wish to turn this of as anyone can unlock my phone.

iPhone XR, iOS 17

On your iPhone:


Settings > Face ID & Passcode > [Unlock with Apple Watch] [Apple Watch Name] = "off"

Anyone can unlock your iPhone ... if you're wearing your Apple Watch.
