Face ID doesn’t work

I’m using iPhone 13 Pro with the newest iOS ver 16.3.1. I’ve set up Face ID before and it works for a few months, but suddenly it cannot recognize my face, so I reset the Face ID. When I set up the new Face ID, it keeps saying move iPhone lower/higher. No matter how much I move my phone, it still won’t have any effect.


Pls help. Thank you

Hello,


Apple has several documents helping you with Face ID.


This document is specific to seeing a 'disabled' Face ID alert, and explains what to do when you see that notice. --> If an alert says Face ID has been disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support


If you don't see a 'disabled' message but do have general issues with Face ID not working properly, explore the list of things to try in this document: If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support

If the first 8 don't solve the issue then use #9, contact Apple.


Also look for suggestions here: How to set up and use Face ID is described in this support article --> Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
