Face ID no longer working

After I did the most current update, (IOS Update 16.5.1) my face ID hasn't been working. Not for the unlock screen, for approving an app download, etc.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Hi MegBro4!


The setting for approving purchases with Face ID was likely to be off. To turn it on again, follow these steps:


[Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Toggle the Use Face ID for iTunes & App Store]


That should do the trick!


Take Care!
