Face ID not working on my iPhone

Apple Face ID can’t be used. Because image in another device can be used to unlock the iPhone.

To be verified, the scanned object (face or otherwise) must provide depth information for the scan, which a planar image or planar video display cannot.

If you have found a Face ID bypass with an image or video (and a case with a registered face not also somewhere in the scanned field), contact Apple Support.
