Hi there,


There are a few things that could cause Face-ID to stop working, as well as a number of things that you can try to fix it.


To try and fix your device yourself:

  • Check for updates
  • Check your Face ID settings for anything unusual
  • Check that nothing is covering the TrueDepth camera
  • Restart your device


You can read more solutions here.


If you are still having problems, it may be due to a hardware issue.

I would contact Apple Support or book an appointment at an Apple Store.


Hope this helps.
