Apple earlier this week started rolling out the iOS 15.4 update for iPhone users. The update brings several new features for iPhone users including new emojis, a new voice for Siri, and most importantly, Apple finally allows iPhone users to unlock their phones with Face ID while wearing masks. This feature has been demanded by Apple users since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and while Apple did give us a way to unlock without using Face ID via Apple Watch, it wasn’t the most seamless experience we have seen on other Apple features.
The Apple iOS 15.4 update is now rolling out to all eligible iPhone users. Those who still haven’t updated their iPhone, can head to Settings > General > Software Updates to find the iOS 15.4 update waiting for them. Users just need to follow the on-screen instructions to download the latest version of iPhone operating system. Now, with the update out of the way, let us take you through a guide on how to start unlocking your iPhone with your face with a mask on.
