iPhone 14's Face ID lock allows access to apps via notifications

i did notice on my iphone 14 that even with face id lock i can touch some incoming notification on lock screen and enter the app which sends it after which phone is completely unlocked!! this is very dangerous because if someone steal your iphone will have access to it while android/samsung i did used before seems have safeguards against that so you cant even open notification without fingerprint unlock, apple should ASAP patch this security hole!

okay, great phone is restarted now i will wait for some fresh notifications and publish update/edit of this post, little bit late but its finally solved!! im very glad but on the other hand it was very strange and serious ios bug which can one day happen to another user, its just weird that restart fixes it but not software update
