FaceID not working well

Face ID is working poorly on my iPhone 15 Pro. After some investigation, I have a success rate of less than 50% in unlocking my phone. What could be the issue? What am I doing wrong? I've tried several options with mixed success:


- Turned off all extra security layers in Face ID settings.

- Reset the iPhone and started all over again.

- Set up multiple faces.

- The phone is in pristine condition without any protective layers.


Any help would be appreciated, as this can be quite frustrating, especially when at, for example, the cash counter, and the phone doesn’t recognize me.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

If you still need help, reset your Face ID, then set it up again. Go to Settings, tap Face ID & Passcode, then tap Reset Face ID. Next, tap Set up Face ID to set it up again.

Parts and service history

With iPhone 12 models and later using iOS 15.2 and later, you can go to Settings > General > About to see the parts and service history of your iPhone and you can see if the camera has been replaced. If the repair was done using genuine Apple parts and processes, you will see "Genuine Apple Part" next to Camera.

 



  • You will see an Unknown Part  message if the camera installation is incomplete or if the camera:
  • Was replaced with a nongenuine camera
  • Was already used or installed in another iPhone
  • Isn't functioning as expected

This message doesn't affect your ability to use your iPhone or access your camera.

If your iPhone's camera has been previously replaced, repaired, or serviced by an unauthorized service provider, it's worth noting that Apple may decline to provide service for your device. The decision to refuse service will depend on the specific components that were affected by the unauthorized service.
