After the new update i have been experiencing issues with guided access where as per Apple guidelines 2 clicks of the power button should end guided access using touch or Face ID and triple clicks will end it using the passcode. So far after many restarts I can safely say that face ID recognition does not work and you will always have to resort to triple clicks. Is this issue only for me or does anyone else also face the same issue?
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26
I have had to use the following sequence multiple times to get out of Guided Access.
Volume down button, Volume Up button, Power button (right side).
In the past I could just double press the power button and it would quickly exit. Now its triple press the power button to bring up UI and Face ID. Not good. I miss the double press. I'd settle for triple if it worked. Really hoping they fix this bug.

As we're all just users here, be sure Apple knows about the bug:

It’s not only you! Even after 26.0.1 its not fixed. In addition for me sometimes after triple click it starts to do some kind of lock/unlock loop….
Same thing here. Enabling and disabling Guided Access doesn’t make it work, nor does enabling/disabling Face ID in Guided Access help - turning device off and on doesn’t help. As well, disabling the setting for “side button lock” doesn’t help it work either.
Sometimes attempts to use Face ID leave you stuck on the lock screen for a minute (but then you can triple click and get out).
Same here guys
For me it has always been a triple click to end, as double does nothing
Thanks for the link. Bug submitted.
