Follow these steps, testing after each step:


If that didn’t work, then it could be a hardware issue.


According to Apple:

Using diagnostics available in iOS 14.6 or later, Apple has detected an issue with your TrueDepth camera that might cause it to not function as expected. The TrueDepth camera contains lasers, which might be disabled for safety reasons if the device malfunctions or is damaged. This won't prevent you from using your iPhone or iPad, but until your iPhone or iPad is updated or serviced, you might not be able to use Face ID, Animoji, Memoji, and some other features that use the front camera.


As a result, I recommend service.

FORCE RESTART


Hi, I’ve had the same issue. What worked for me, after also getting that recommended through Apple chat support, was a force restart.


Press and release on the left side of your phone the Volume Up button 1 second, then the Volume Down button 1 second (one after the other not at the same time) and finally press and hold the right side button until the Apple symbol appears. Do not use the Power Off slider.


I was able to reset my Face ID after the force restart.


Hope this helps.


Shout out to Oscar my Apple service advisor! 🍎
