Unable to activate Touch ID in iPhone SE

I've gotten a pop up suddenly on my phone (iphone se 2022) that touch id is unable to be activated. It was working all day today but suddenly isn't working anymore. I can't switch or close apps without having to ask siri to do it for me. I've checked that there's no updates or anything to be done. Why did it suddenly do this ? I did not damage my phone in any way either.
