Follow these steps, testing after each step:



If that didn’t work, then it could be a hardware issue.


According to Apple:

Using diagnostics available in iOS 14.6 or later, Apple has detected an issue with your TrueDepth camera that might cause it to not function as expected. The TrueDepth camera contains lasers, which might be disabled for safety reasons if the device malfunctions or is damaged. This won't prevent you from using your iPhone or iPad, but until your iPhone or iPad is updated or serviced, you might not be able to use Face ID, Animoji, Memoji, and some other features that use the front camera.


As a result, I recommend service.

Troubleshooting Face ID Set Up:


A. Start with a Restart:

Having just made the change, restart your iPhone, and see if it then is fixed.


B. Face ID Issues:

There are known stand alone updates for Face ID that I am aware of. So, what's the issue? Any error messages? Is Face ID not working after the setup?
