iPhone 17 Pro: Face ID issue with banking apps

I have just upgraded from an 11 to a 17 Pro. All is well apart from 2 banking apps which continue sully say my Face ID has changed since last use. I have reinstalled them to no avail. Any ideas?

You had to create a new Face ID when you got the new iPhone. So I'd delete the banking app(s), which wipes their data, then reinstall them and set them up again with biometrics.

Might the banking apps be storing your Face ID? That’s what it sounds like. And your Face ID may well look different since the bank last got it from your iPhone 11.


Try erasing the bank apps’ knowledge of your Face appearance and set it up again in each of the two banking apps.
