Face ID will even work with a mask. IOS 15.4 will allow it

From the beginning of the pandemic, one of the major problems faced by iPhone owners is the inability to unlock the phone with Face ID when they have a face mask on. Apple has been working on a solution for a long time, which it will eventually bring in iOS 15.4

In iOS 15.4, Face ID will work even with a mask on your face

In the beta version of iOS 15.4, which has just been released to testers, a new feature has been discovered that has been eagerly awaited since the beginning of the pandemic. It is about the ability to unlock the phone using Face ID, when most of the face is covered with a mask. We do not always have the ability to remove it, and using a different form of unlocking the iPhone can be troublesome.

Instead of scanning the entire face, the user will be recognized by the eyes and forehead, which, however, will significantly worsen the security issues, as Apple is warning about. The company encourages you to try to unlock the device using the normal version anyway. Either way, it is a great convenience nowadays that iPhone owners will surely be happy about.

We don’t know exactly when iOS 15.4 testing will end or when the update will hit everyone, but we expect it to be around March or April this year.
