Screen unlocks via either fingerprint, code or face. None of which are being done in my pocket.k_man said:What type of screen lock do you have set?
And do you lock before putting in your pocket?
There is a serious security concern if your mobile unlocks like that.

I also always lock mine before putting it in my pocket. I'm guessing the problem is caused by pressure on the Medical ID icon. My phone doesn't have a full case, just a rubberised cover.

Samsung mobiles unlocking in pockets seems to be an issue.
A few potential fixes below and check for trusted devices (smart watch, fitness tracker) and trusted locations, and app shortcuts on lock screen (e.g a shortcut to messages)
