How can I fix ‘Face ID is not available’ error on iPhone?

My Face ID hasn’t been working for the past few days. I’m currently on iOS 18.3.1. When I tried resetting Face ID, I got the message: “Face ID is not available. Try setting up Face ID later.”


I’m using iphone 15.


Does anyone know how to fix this?
