iPhone 17 Pro front camera / faceID making a clicking sound

Hi!


every time face-ID is enabled I hear a clear "click" on my phone. Is not noticeable during the day as the surrounding sound is enough to mask it, but you can hear it clearly in a quiet space, for example, when reading stuff in bed at night. It is very noticeable on such conditions and kind of distracting, as every time I use faceID I hear it. Here a video showing the "click":

I didn't had it on any previous iPhone.


Does it also happen to you? Will this be fixed in future soft updates?


Many thanks!

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26
