I can't setup face ID
Each time I try to setup face id, it does not continue. The camera turns on and I am instructed to place my face in the box. Nothing happens after that.

A. First, Go Here: If the Camera or Flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't Working - Apple Support
B. Uncover the Camera:
Is there anything covering the camera? If so, remove it.
C. Any Ungenuine Camera Message?:
Did you recently get the camera replaced? If so, contact the person(s) who performed the replacement, and have them place a genuine camera in there.See Here: About Genuine iPhone Cameras - Apple Support. They should have known better.

I tried everything. I keep getting an error message saying "face id is not available at this time, please try again later" or something very close to that. I tried to screen shot the message, but my camera would work in that moment. I tried more than a few times.
Did you try where it said to contact Apple Support to discuss repair options?

Much mahalo to TheLittles. Your answer was helpful as I was trying to avoid having to take my phone in. But it's what I will need to do now. Again, thank you for your assistance.
