The iOS 15.4 update now available on iPhones includes a
feature that many have been asking for since the beginning of the pandemic: The
ability to unlock your phone using facial recognition software while wearing a
mask.
Here’s how to install it (according to CNET):
- Install the iOS 15.4 update.
- Toggle the option to turn on Face ID
with a Mask.
- Scan your face (you don’t need to wear a
mask for setup).
Other advancements at Apple were laid out during their Peek
Performance early this month.
