I upgraded my phone to IoS 26 and have had issues. My phone wouldn’t connect to cell service. But there was already a fix for that. Now it won’t read my face for Face ID and i can’t even change it because it says Face ID is unavailable 😑

Original Title: Face ID not working
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 26
Try to reset FaceID by using the Lock Screen code to access the iPhone, go to Settings -> FaceIS & Passcode -> use the Lock Screen code again -> Scroll down and tap on -> Reset Face ID
Then try to set it up again.
If this does not work, this is a hardware issue, and you should contact the official Apple Support and let them diagnose your device:

Well... I have that issue with my iPhone 13. FaceID worked just fine before the update and then slowly but surely started to work less and less. I now tried a reset of FaceID and now iphone is telling me to hold the camera lower and refuses to recognize my face. I hold it within 25-50cm, higher, lower, different lighting. Doesn't make a difference. I've (needlessly) removed my screen protector, there isn't a scratch or dust particle anywhere on my screen, let alone the island. Nothing will work.
