How To Fix Face ID Black Box Stuck On Screen
Until Apple patches this glitch in an upcoming software update, you can temporary fix the problem by rebooting your iPhone 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max.
I recommend you the force restart trick:
Briefly click & release Volume Up, Volume Down followed by a press & hold of the Side Button until the screen turns black and the Apple logo is displayed.
