Face ID suddenly isn’t working

Face ID suddenly stopped working on my iphone. It just wouldn’t recognize my face anymore. I tried setting up an alternate face, but it still didn’t work. What’s going on?

If Face ID isn't working for you, there is most likely something wrong with your TrueDepth camera. First, look at these two articles for help. If that doesn't fix the issue, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your camera issue diagnosed.
