Face ID stopped working on iPhone XR; won’t allow me to set up again

Forrestalm Said:

"Face ID stopped working on iPhone XR; won’t allow me to set up again: I have a iPhone XR and since running the most recent update (OS 15.6), my Face ID no longer works. My portrait mode in camera doesn’t work either. [...]"

Troubleshooting Face ID:

A. Tried these two links?:

• If an Alert Says Face ID has been Disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
• If Face ID isn't Working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support

B. Report this to Apple:

Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue.  Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that this all began after installing an update. Include the URL of this post
4. Proceed from there as necessary

According to Apple:

Using diagnostics available in iOS 14.6 or later, Apple has detected an issue with your TrueDepth camera that might cause it to not function as expected. The TrueDepth camera contains lasers, which might be disabled for safety reasons if the device malfunctions or is damaged. This won't prevent you from using your iPhone or iPad, but until your iPhone or iPad is updated or serviced, you might not be able to use Face ID, Animoji, Memoji, and some other features that use the front camera.

As a result, I recommend service.

Service Checklist:
