On iOS 26, the UI prompts are not visible when using Face Unlock, which I suspect is due to the camera area blocking the screen. The unlocking experience is very poor; you can't see if Face Unlock has been successful and can only wait until you enter the unlocked system.

It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.
Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!
Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.
iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.
Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

No Jailbroken
This happened after updating to iOS26，I had not encountered this problem before.
Actually, when I unlock it, a shadow appears, but there are no prompts within the shadow.
Here are three images: a lock screen, an attempt at face unlock, and a password unlock.

Thanks, but this doesn't work.
In previous system versions, Face Unlock displayed an unlock prompts (for Face ID);
however, I tried other wallpapers and didn't see any Face Unlock prompts.
