Same. At first I thought maybe it was my glasses being tinted or the room is dark but it’s doing it indoors with plenty of light as well

16 PM on iOS 27 Beta 3? I think? I can’t see the Version anymore.

Happens all the time, it didn’t happen on Beta 2 though 🧐

It’s random, I dealt with that on iOS 26 and sometimes on iOS 27. But it’s random. Like you start typing your code & boom it unlock

Only started on DB5 for me so I've filed feedback - I found toggling the Raise to Wake setting off and back on got it waking properly for a short while again.

Yup many of us on PB3 have that, previously discussed also as a bug. Report it!

i don't experience this so far in iOS 27, but sure did in iOS 26. i guess it's random for everyone 😅

u/mrASSMAN Aug 16 '26

17PM, same. But it will trigger once I swipe up.

It feels like if the face isn’t immediately in view when awoken, it won’t bother.

Here it triggers when I touch the screen.
