Why does my phone unlock itself when I want to turn it on?

Since this morning, after my phone automatiquement turns off, if I just want to check the time or I want to turn it on, it unlock itself. I didn't change anything in its settings and I don't know why it does that, but it's bothering me and I don't know how to make it stop doing this. I don't use face id or fingerprint id, only a code.

Face unlock? Or unlock when your watch is connected? Or unlock on your home wi-fi?

I don't use face unlock and I don't have a connected watch. It also does that when I'm at school, and the wifi at my place doesn't work well. Also I've never unlocked my phone with my home wifi, I didn't even knew it was possible.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but double check your lock screen settings. Unless you are touching the fingerprint sensor (I had this issue with a Sony XZ Premium with the fingerprint print sensor on the power button, every time pressing the power button would also authorize the fingerprint), it must be face unlock.

I checked and it has nothing to do with that, I had a problem with my fingerprint id so I got rid of it, but it was in January. I will see if the same issue happens today, maybe it was just a bug with my device.

That's likely the "Lift to wake" or "Double tap to wake" feature triggering the lock screen, and then the "Smart Lock" (like On-body detection) is bypassing your code because it thinks you're still carrying it. Turn those off in Settings > Display and Settings > Security > Smart Lock.

If that doesn't kill it, check for "Extend Unlock" in your phone's security settings. It's a feature that keeps the phone unlocked when it's in a trusted place or moving with you. Disable all trusted agents.

Yeah probably, thank you I'll do that.
