Apple iOS 15.4 update: iPhone users can now unlock their phones with Face ID and masks
Unlocking your iPhone with Face ID? You can now keep your mask on.
Apple rolled out an update Monday for the iPhone which supports a feature on Face ID allowing owners to unlock their phones while wearing a mask.
The iOS 15.4 update will work on the iPhone 12 and newer smartphones, Apple said.
After the update, users will receive a prompt asking if they want to use Face ID while wearing a mask, then go through the process of scanning their face without wearing a mask. Users who don’t have Face ID will receive a request asking if they want to turn on the feature.
