Face ID not working after 16.0.2

I've updated my iphone to the latest OS and FaceID no longer works. I've tried restarting the phone and resetting FaceID but that doesn't work.

On resetting FaceID I keep getting the message 'move the phone lower'. It's not able to scan my face. There are hundreds of articles, and threads on other blogs and sites with the same problem but nothing official from Apple.

I can rollback to OS to 15 but I just lose a few days data so hoping there is a fix before I do that.

Any solves? thanks

You cannot downgrade to iOS 15 once you have upgraded to iOS 16. Check this link for possible help...

If an alert says Face ID has been disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support

If that link doesn't help, you will need to make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store for a repair...
