IOS 15.3.1 - FaceID stopped working - Cant reset

I updated to IOS 15.3.1 a couple of days ago.

Yesterday my FaceID stopped working.

I tried to set up an alternate ID but it wouldn't work. I deleted my Face ID and all attempts 'Set Up Face ID' are failing. I position my face in the frame and hold - the image defocuses and a message pops up "Move iPhone a little lower". I keep moving the phone but it stays defocuses - does nothing and I end up having to cancel.

I have trawled the internet for the last 2 days and can't find anyone talking about this issue. Is it an IOS update problem, or my new phone that is only 5 months old - 13 Pro Max

Please help.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

If you still need help, reset Face ID, then set it up again. Go to Settings > Face ID &Passcode and tap Reset Face ID. Then tap Set up Face ID to set it up again.

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

Do you have a disabled Face ID alert on your device?

Please read the "What to do Next" section in this link, if nothing works as per the instruction given in this link --> If an alert says Face ID has been disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro
