Face ID not recognising my face on iPhone 18 Pro Max

My Face ID isn’t recognising my face even though I’ve already set it up. It keeps failing to recognise me when I try to unlock the phone. Anyone having the same problem? Iphone18 promax

Should be fixed today with the release of iOS 27.0.1.

Yes, it is has been reported as a bug affecting some iPhone 18 users and expect it to be fixed shortly. There are some rumor sites that claim they know the version number and expected date, but we can't really provide speculation here as it is not allowed.

Unfortunately, it’s still not fixed for me. 😅 I’m already on iOS 27.0.1, but Face ID is still having the same issue. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to do anything else on my end, or if I just need to wait for another update.
