Face ID won’t set up

I recently got my boyfriend’s old iPhone 11 and I’ve tryed setting Face ID up numinous times and it won’t work. I don’t know if it has something to do with the broke. Screen or if it’s just an issue with the phone, but my bf said that it set up for him even though the screen was broken and i just don’t know what to do. This also isn’t very relevant but I can’t take photos with my volume buttons and I don’t know how to fix that, i tryed looking it up but nothing helped. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼

iPhone 11, iOS 17

If you still need help, reset your Face ID, then set it up again. Go to Settings, tap Face ID & Passcode, then tap Reset Face ID. Next, tap Set up Face ID to set it up again.

Parts and service history

With iPhone 12 models and later using iOS 15.2 and later, you can go to Settings > General > About to see the parts and service history of your iPhone and you can see if the camera has been replaced. If the repair was done using genuine Apple parts and processes, you will see "Genuine Apple Part" next to Camera.

 



  • You will see an Unknown Part  message if the camera installation is incomplete or if the camera:
  • Was replaced with a nongenuine camera
  • Was already used or installed in another iPhone
  • Isn't functioning as expected

This message doesn't affect your ability to use your iPhone or access your camera.

If your iPhone's camera has been previously replaced, repaired, or serviced by an unauthorized service provider, it's worth noting that Apple may decline to provide service for your device. The decision to refuse service will depend on the specific components that were affected by the unauthorized service.
