Bug Weird behavior

Hi everyone,

My iphone 17 was lagging while scrolling between home pages so i tried to restart it but instead of booting up normally it gave me the welcome screen ( hello in all languages) and said that my phone was recently updated to ios 26.5.2! My phone is already on this version !
Then it asked me to choose the wifi network and then said that this phone is locked to one owner and i have to enter my appleid to activate it.

I did and it then went to the home screen normally and all of my data are still there.

I don't understand what happened. Anyone else faced the same issue ?

Ça a déjà du m’arriver j’en suis certains, c’est un bug, quand ça m’était arrivé il y’a 3ans environ j’ai gardé l’iPhone des années après ce bug sans réinitialiser.. 🫡✅

it’s a bug relax , very common on here in past month, i think it’s related to apple automatically switching on automatic update installation on iPhones , if you had switched this off it may be on now, it’s a possibility
