Your iPhone will eventually restart, and will require you to input your pass key.

iOS 16 update

iOS 16 update comes with iCloud Shared Photo Library for families, streamlined communication through new capabilities in Messages and Mail, and harnessed enhanced intelligence with updates to Live Text and Visual Look Up. Users can also create Lock Screens using their favourite emoji or colour combinations. With multiple Lock Screens, users can switch between their favourites with just a swipe.

Live Activities is a new feature that helps users stay on top of things that are happening in real-time, such as a sports game, workout, ride-share, or food delivery order, right from the Lock Screen. Siri has added the ability to run shortcuts as soon as an app is downloaded without requiring upfront setup. Face ID for iPhone will work in landscape in iOS 16.
