I can unlock my mom’s new iPhone with my face

Dear,


my mom bought the new iPhone 12 pro the end of last year. We only set up her Face ID, but somehow I can unlock her iPhone with my face. Then I let her reset her face I D, I couldn’t unlock then. But recently I can unlock her iphone with my face again. I want to know the problem for this.


thank you

iPhone 12 Pro Max

"The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it using Face ID is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 (versus 1 in 50,000 for Touch ID). As an additional protection, Face ID allows only five unsuccessful match attempts before a passcode is required. The statistical probability is different for twins and siblings that look like you and among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed. If you're concerned about this, we recommend using a passcode to authenticate."
