Why does my iPhone require passcode for Face ID frequently?
On several occasions lately while the phone is on, I get a "passcode required to enable face ID" message. It happened twice yesterday in two different environments and then again this morning. Prior to that, it seemed like it was happening each morning.
To fix this, I have so far setup an alternative face ID, but what apple support failed to mention was that this would sign me out of apps that have been setup with face ID. I've turned off the setting "require attention for face ID." Apple support suggested that wireless charging could be causing this so i switched to using a USB C charger.
Apple support also suggested that my phone could be turning off at night. I don't see how this is possible. Given the number of times in recent weeks that I've been forced to enter my pin to unlock the phone, I need to get this issue resolved.
I think there's either a glitch in the phone software or some hidden setting that says require pin for face ID every 24 hours, but then that does not explain why i had to use the pin twice yesterday to unlock.
