My Iphone 7 keeps shutting down and asking for my passcode

[Anonymous]

This morning I have opened my iphone 7 to use, as I keep my phone locked with a passcode. after about 3 minutes it shuts down and goes back to the passcode page. when I put in my passcode it has closed the app I was working on and gone back to the home page. 

I has been doing this now for 2 hours!

Any tips

Nothing has happened to it in the night? and it was working correctly yesterday.

many thanks Trudy

I’d like to know this too as I have the 7 Plus on 11.1.2 & I’m not seeing any problems pertaining to this apparent issue

not seeing any issues in beta 11.2 v6

Though 3 iPhone users posting about the same issue on the same day? All a bit coincidental. Then of course we have those who aren't posting here.....

It’s not affecting me either but clearly is an issue for some.

Mine is also doing this for no reason; it's driving me crazy. I have tried everything, including a full reset.

@Anonymous can you confirm this is the Iphone going into sleep mode and asking for the passcode to open it back up? and not other passwords being requested ?

Yes that's right. It's as if it is half shutting down as the loading dial comes on and then it requests my phone password. It is doing it every 2 mins as I am browsing.

So I'm counting 4 people this has happened to today..and all before midday (or thereabouts) ...

Why don't people ring Apple and see if they have a reported problem....(Not treading on toes here...but If it was

happening to me and others I would be checking it out with the manufacturer) https://support.apple.com/en-gb/contact

It’s already being reported on Apple forums so I’m sure many have spoken to them.
