Touch ID

All of a sudden, Touch ID stopped working on my iPhone. Is there a way I can reactivate it?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Touch ID sensor or the surrounding ring. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on, and that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints. Try enrolling a different finger.
