iOS 27.0.1 Fixed the Face ID Restart Bug — Check Your Automations

Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.

Apple shipped iOS 27.0.1 on Monday fixing three bugs — including the iPhone 18 Pro restart triggered by failed Face ID authentication.

Why automators care:

Shortcuts that fire at unlock — if a Face ID failure was restarting your phone, any automation scheduled around unlock timing silently never ran
Notification Center + Control Center gesture bug — the simultaneous-swipe freeze is fixed; automations triggered from Control Center toggles are reliable again
Photo processing fix — the 2x color artifact is gone, relevant for any "process this screenshot" recipe

If your automations have been flaky since the iOS 27 launch on the 14th, install 27.0.1 and re-run them — most "broken shortcut" reports this week were actually OS bugs, not recipe bugs.
