If Face ID isn't working for you, there is most likely something wrong with your TrueDepth camera. First, look at these two articles for help. If that doesn't fix the issue, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your camera issue diagnosed.


If an alert says Face ID has an issue on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support


If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support (AZ)

Have you had a chance to update your iPhone yet? If so, and the issue still presents, you’ll need to contact Apple Support.


You need to have Apple Support perform diagnostics on your iPhone. It can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.
