After playing games with “Game mode” enabled on my iPhone 16 Pro, Face ID began to experience a delay of approximately 1-2 seconds. The only solution to this issue was to restart the phone. Once “Game mode” was disabled, Face ID functioned as expected. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Ensure that the games you are playing are updated to their latest versions. Sometimes, app-specific issues can cause broader system problems.
If you encounter any challenges with third-party applications, the best course of action is to directly contact the app developer for further assistance. Here's a brief guide on how to do it:

Dear Sir,
The issue at hand is not related to games, but rather to the integrated Game Mode in iOS. Game Mode is designed to optimize gaming performance by minimizing background activity and allocating system resources to maintain higher frame rates.
However, this optimization may inadvertently impact other system functions, such as Face ID, resulting in slower response times. We kindly request that Apple address this issue through updates.
Seems to be fixed with 18.3, at least for me. Can you confirm?
Same issue here since updating to iOS 18.2! iPhone 16 Pro user.
