How do I prevent Face ID from unlocking my iPhone when I'm not looking?

i tjink my phone is hacked. seems like every time I set my settings. They're all change my Face ID. I can turn my face away and the phone is still cut on. It keeps showing that my phone is un eligible for things and I don't have Internet.

Your phone unlocks the instant you look at it; so fast you can’t turn away. It is unlocked before you swipe up.


The only real test is to lock it, then have someone else look at it when it is locked and swipe up, or lock it, face it completely away from your, then swipe up without looking at the screen. It won’t unlock.


You cannot be in any position where even the edge of the screen is facing you.
