The iPhone 16 Pro is built to be flawless. It’s sleek, fast, and packed with next-gen features—including Apple’s advanced Face ID. But what if it suddenly stops working?
No Face ID = no smooth unlocking, no secure app access, and no Apple Pay on the go. It’s a serious issue—and we’re here to help you fix it.
Let’s break down why Face ID fails on the iPhone 16 Pro and what you can do about it.
Common Signs Your Face ID Is Glitching
If you’re reading this, you’re probably dealing with one (or more) of these:
- 😕 Face ID won’t unlock your phone at all
- ❌ You see “Face ID is not available”
- 🔁 Face ID works sometimes, but not reliably
- ⚙️ You can’t even set up Face ID—it fails during the scan
If you’ve tried adjusting lighting, changing positions, or even cleaning the screen and nothing works—it’s time to go deeper.
What’s Causing the Face ID to Fail on iPhone 16 Pro?
🛠️ 1. Hardware Component Misalignment
Face ID uses the TrueDepth camera system—a combination of infrared camera, flood illuminator, and dot projector. If your phone has been dropped or repaired before, even a slight misalignment can break the system.
🌧️ 2. Moisture or Dust Ingress
Despite its water resistance, moisture can sometimes sneak in—especially around the notch area—and corrode Face ID sensors internally.
🚫 3. Unauthorized Repairs
Face ID is tightly bound to your phone’s logic board. If a previous screen replacement wasn’t done professionally, Face ID can stop working completely.
⚙️ 4. iOS or Face ID Settings Glitch
Sometimes the issue is just a software hiccup—especially if you recently updated iOS or restored your phone from a backup.
🧢 5. Obstruction
It may sound basic, but even a screen protector or dirty lens can cause Face ID to fail or misread your face.
What You Can Try at Home First
Don’t give up just yet. Try these first:
🔄 Reboot Your iPhone
Start simple—restart your phone and test Face ID again.
📲 Update iOS
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install the latest version.
🧽 Clean the Face ID Sensors
Wipe the notch area gently with a clean microfiber cloth.
🔧 Reset Face ID
Head to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Reset Face ID. Then set it up again in good lighting.
🚫 Remove Case or Screen Protector
If they’re interfering with the camera, take them off and test Face ID without any barriers.
Still no luck? Then it’s a job for the pros.
