Ios 15 4 Beta Lets You Unlock Your Iphone With Face Id While Wearing A Mask

While Apple’s Face ID system has been a revolutionary biometric authentication system for smartphones in the market, the inception of the Covornavirus-led pandemic has made it more or less useless as face masks became a part of our attire. As a workaround to this issue, Apple allowed users to unlock an iPhone using their Apple Watch. However, the Cupertino giant has now started testing a “Face ID with a Mask” feature that allows non-Apple Watch users to unlock an iPhone using the Face ID while wearing a mask.

The feature, initially spotted by YouTuber Brandon Butch, is currently live on iOS 15.4 Beta 1. It enables users to unlock their iPhone with Face ID when wearing a face mask even if they do not own an Apple Watch.
