Hello Asupport58,


I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble setting up FaceID on your iPhone 11.


Follow these steps and test after each:

  1. If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
  2. Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  3. Turn iPhone on or off – Apple Support
  4. Force restart iPhone – Apple Support


If your iPhone still isn't working, then you may be dealing with a hardware issue.
