With the upcoming rollout of iOS 14.5, Apple Watch users will be able to unlock their iPhones while wearing a face mask.
At a time when everyone is wearing a mask, Face ID has become a problem for iPhone users – they’re now constantly needing to enter their passcode to unlock their phones. There have been reports that the iPhone 13 range will get in-screen fingerprint sensors, but there’s no need to wait (or upgrade). Apple is trying to solve this problem right now by adding a feature to the upcoming iOS 14.5 update that should allow iPhone owners to use Face ID while wearing a mask.
