Make sure your ios is updated to 15.2, then Try a hard reset on your iphone

Force restart an iPhone with Face ID

To force restart iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, or iPhone 13, do the following:

Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.


If this doesn't work, sign put of icloud, restart your phone and sign back in. Then try again.
