Face ID randomly stops working for short periods of time.
Face ID stops working randomly on my iPhone 16 pro.
its happened on multiple occasions now - once a few weeks ago, once yesterday briefly, and again just now. It will stop working and fail 100% of Face ID attempts. I thought after the first time I just had gotten the angle wrong, but I can confidently say now that’s not the case. The oddest part is it will randomly start working again on it’s own after some time. When I open the camera i can see my face fine. And I’ve had this phone for years and it’s always worked fine so I don’t think it’s a settings issue.
for many things I can use my pin , but some apps won’t open without Face ID so I’m effectively locked out of those apps.
iPhone SE, iOS 13
