What do I do if Face ID stops working?

Face ID on my phone stopped working or decided not to recognize my face. Because the security measures are enabled, I can’t reset Face ID in order to utilize apps, etc which are unlocked with Face ID.

I have the same issue same timeline - no case no hairline crack still an issue - I’ve reset everything no dice.


I contact Apple support and it got escalated and the call back never happened


Issue completely went away - for about 10 minutes and returned and then went away again 3 hrs later for about a half hour second time - but it has returned again and Face ID is been completely inoperable for the past 5 hrs


This has to be a software update issue with 17.3.1 is my thought - as it’s been a bit clunky since I updated 4-5 days ago


PS turn off ‘stolen device protection’ because that only makes it more of a nightmare


Any others have issue or report to Apple ?


13 Pro Max

17.3.1
