Temporary Face ID issue and unexpected shutdown on iPhone after 18.2.1 update

Had some temporary difficulty with Face ID after 18.2 but then it seemed to resolve on its own. I’ve updated to 18.2.1 and today I encountered a similar situation with Face ID sign in. Only this time my phone powered down on its own. Once restarted the Face ID was working fine. Just wondering if others have experienced this lately.

My phone works fine as far as I can tell. The Face ID issue was with a couple different apps. I don’t know. It almost seemed to self regulate itself. I just wondered if others noticed this as I recall multiple complaints with Face ID after 18.2 update

So the Face ID issue isn't with unlocking your but with third-party apps? If so, delete the apps and re-install them.
