Hello JojesJose,


It sounds like you're having an issue with Face ID not working on your iPhone.


First lets make sure that your iPhone is running the latest iOS software:

Update iOS on iPhone


Then review the steps listed here:

If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro


Check to see that the iPhone is in ring mode:

How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode


Do you have Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions currently enabled?

If so, are you able to temporarily disable Content & Privacy Restrictions? Then restart the device and attempt to reenroll in Face ID once again.


Restart the device.


Attempt to enroll in Face ID for at least a full minute


That should help to clear that up for you, but feel free to reach out to our team if the issue persists here: Get Support


Take care!
