Face ID

My Face ID suddenly stopped working this morning and no matter what I do I can’t get it back. I try to “set up Face ID” but everytime I do so, it keeps saying “Face ID is not available “. My brother’s iPhone is doing the same thing. Can someone point me in the right direction?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

“Face ID is not available” during Face ID setup Hi, About two weeks ago my Face ID on my iPhone just stopped working out all of a sudden and still hasn’t come good. I’ve tried resetting and erasing Face ID settings, to then retry setting up and it keeps saying “move iPhone a little higher/lower” and then eventually comes up with “Face ID is not available, Try setting up Face ID later”. I’ve restarted my iPhone, checked that there are no cracks on the screen and gone through Apple’s support page, but yet I’ve had no luck. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Face Id not Working My face Id is not working for me so I went to reset it. When I got to the page to set it up again a message pops up that says “Face Id is not available try again later” and I have kept trying again later and updated my iPhone but nothing has changed. Please help to get my face Id to work again, thank you.
