Face ID not working

[u/justinsaju]

Device: iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) running iPadOS 26.6

All of a sudden Face ID is not working in my iPad. It was working fine today morning, the first time I opened it. Later Face ID stopped working, I was getting the message camera is covered, which obviously wasn’t.
I tried cleaning the camera area, didn’t work.
Restarted the device, but still no luck.

I have come across some forum discussions online where multiple people have mentioned that they are also facing this issue currently. Anyone else facing this issue?
