That's called Attention Aware. It's supposed to do that, because with Attention Turned on, your phone knows you're looking at your screen and it automatically lowers the volume of the Ringer. It's actually a great feature, but you can turn it off if you want by opening Settings > Accessibility > Face ID & Attention
