I haven't followed this entire thread but it sounds as if access is being given to a locked device using Siri. Out of curiosity, what are the settings for the user experiencing this under Settings, Touch ID & Passcode below the heading Allow Access when Locked? The user has the ability in this heading section to allow access to a number of items including via Siri when their device is locked.

As I said before it doesn’t happen all the time, but it happened again last night. I asked Siri for the temperature, it was given and a few seconds later my phone opened to the home screen and said “music folder.” If I remember correctly I didn’t touch the phone. Very strange. I will pay close attention and, if the problem persists, will call Apple. Thanks. God bless!

If of course you push the home button to activate SIRI and do so with the same finger you use for Touch Id then of course the phone will unlock.

Are you using Hey Siri? If you are pressing the home button; are you using a finger other than those you've set fingerprints with? I've not noticed this; but I'll pay attention more.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has seen this. When my phone is locked and I ask Siri for something like the temperature, siri gives me the information and then my phone opens to the home screen without me using a finger print or password. I also sometimes notice this same behavior when I reply to a message from the locked screen. I’m thinking this is a bug that should be reported to Apple. I’m using an IPhone 7 running the latest version which I think is 12.1.4. I don’t think I’ve set anything differently in my settings menu. It seems like this could be a security risk. God bless!
