Hello there Tsoaks12,

I understand you are experiencing problems with Face ID.

Please check that the lens of the Face ID is not dirty, or if anything else is in front of it like your phone case. If this is not the case I recommend you to click on the link below.

If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support

Hopefully this answer helped you,

Enjoy your day!
