Description
Steps to reproduce
- Enable FaceID and secure App with a code
- Restart the app
- Open the App (FaceID will occure)
- Close the App (background or completely)
- Open it again,...
- Do it again (step 4: close, and open it again, multiple times, no matter how long you're waiting between these steps).
Expected behaviour
FaceID always should be checked as set in the app settings.
Actual behaviour
It seems that FaceID randomly not requested. No matter of time between closing (or sending to background) the app. Sometimes the App just opens and everything is usable without a FaceID check.
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
Security reasons!?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated background, close, and reopen sequence on the reported iOS 16.1 and Nextcloud app versions, focusing on the FaceID check across app lifecycle transitions. Done means the app consistently requests FaceID whenever it is enabled and the app is reopened.
