Facial recognition isn’t let me put my face in

I have a iPhone 13 Pro and facial recognition in the settings isn’t let me set it up. I move the phone up and down and it tells me can not set up at this time

You might want to try moving the iPhone further away from your face ... eg: one suggestion: try at arm's length.

or

See Apple support's online article: Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support for the steps to follow:

Eg: says: Face ID works best when your iPhone or iPad is approximately 10–20 inches from your face.

If you still need help: Other things to try:


Wondering if your iPhone has been updated to the latest iOS version:

You could check in Settings > General > Software update to see if there is an update.


You may also want to check you are signed in to your iPhone with your Apple ID:

Eg: Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

says:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Sign in to your [device].


If you are not signed in already:

Choose one of two ways to sign in:


(1) Use Another Apple Device: If you have an iPad or another iPhone that’s signed in with your Apple ID, bring that device nearby and follow the instructions on both devices to complete sign-in.*

or

(2) Sign in Manually: Enter your Apple ID (or an email address or phone number that you use with Apple services) and your password. If prompted, enter the six-digit verification code sent to your trusted device or phone number to complete sign-in.

If needed: Try Apple's Accessibility Support Website: (info / support / contact options etc.)

All the best :-)
