My FaceID is not longer working and I can't reset it. Any solutions?

I have an iPhone XS and this weekend for some reason my FaceID stopped working. My front-facing camera works just fine. I tried resetting my FaceID but it keeps telling me to Position My Face Within The Frame, which I am doing but it doesn't recognize that it's a face or something. Not sure what to do from here.

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Face ID Stopped Working Recently I have noticed that the Face ID feature for my IPhone XS has stopped working. I have tried to reset it, but it won’t go any farther than the direction “Put your face in the frame”. My phone does have a minor crack over the camera, however I’ve had that for a while and my Face ID still worked after it cracked, so I don’t think that is the problem. I have also tried resetting my phone and then trying to reset the Face ID, but that didn’t work either.

FaceId My faceid stopped working. Have reset faceid, cleaned true depth cameras. When setting up, it tells me to lower iPhone to the point that my face is no longer in the screen then tells me to put my face back in the box.

Face ID not working despite update My Face ID suddenly stopped working. I use an iPhone 11 with the latest iOS version (15.1). I have cleaned my cameras, reset my settings and tried to reset Face ID. It keeps saying Face ID not available. I don’t know what to do
