The Tap to Wake feature lets you wake the iPhone and iPad screen with a single tap. When the screen lights up, it triggers Face ID unlock and also enables you to see what’s on your Lock Screen, like date & time, new notifications, missed calls, widgets, texts, etc.

Go through these solutions if Tap to Wake isn’t working for you.
