Face ID not working on my iPhone 13 mini

I have an iPhone 13. Until about a week ago Face ID worked quite well for unlocking my phone and opening apps. But about a week ago it suddenly quit. When I go to Settings, Face ID and Passcodes, iPhone Unlock, I get to the screen where I'm supposed to position my face in the camera screen. The problem is that my face does not appear. The camera lens is clean, and the camera works fine for regular photos and selfies. Any help would be appreciated

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.
