My iPhone is automatically unlocking itself

Your phone unlocks when it sees your face, before you swipe up. So it isn’t unlocking itself, you are unlocking it.

I doubt that. When you look at the screen, even if you don’t touch it, Face ID will unlock your phone. If then someone else touches the phone it will appear that it unlocked by them touching it.

Here’s a simple test. Lock the phone with the Side button, with the phone facing away from you. Then hand it to someone else and ask them to take it to another room and see if they can open it.

Then your phone is seriously broken. Contact Apple support. It is a problem with your phone, not other phones.

Or they are trying to psych you. Ask them to send a text or email when they open the phone.

i tried this multiple times with different people and they got in everytime, none of them have face id or my pasword

Did you try it with, say, newly-chosen ten-digit or ten-character passcode?

I am aware of two pairs of unrelated people that are Face ID matches (one pair are also both information security people, amusingly), but that’s very rare.

If it is all set up appropriately and no unexpected alternate Face ID profiles are loaded, and the people are not close relatives of yours, check with Apple.

If (1) Face ID is configured, and (2) a passcode is set, and (3) the passcode is enabled and required, force a restart and test again, then contact Apple Support.

did you get any help about this?

Your Apple Watch might be automatically unlocking your iPhone. To turn this off, go to the Apple Watch app - passcode - and toggle the setting off. Hope this helps - Vivek

Switch off and switch on your phone. It will start working
