International Desk(National Times)- People who have been using Face ID to unlock their iPhones before the COVID-19 pandemic faced the hassle to remove their masks and then unlocking the phones, Macworld reported.<\/p>\n
But now, since the pandemic is not showing signs of going away anytime soon and masks have become an essential “accessory” for people across the globe, Apple has added a new feature in iOS 15.4 (currently in beta) which has the ability to use Face ID even when someone is wearing a mask. <\/p>\n
However, Apple suggests using a full-face scan because it’s a lot more secure than the new mask Face ID update. But even then, it is an excellent solution to the “new normal” lifestyle.<\/p>\n
An iOS update would be needed if you don’t have iOS 15.4. By following simple three steps, you can access the “mask on Face ID feature,” the report said.<\/p>\n
1. Open the Settings.<\/p>\n
2. Tap on Face ID & Passcode, then you\u2019ll have to enter your passcode to access this menu.<\/p>\n
3. Scroll down to Use Face ID With a Mask and toggle it on.<\/p>\n
Your face will be scanned by the feature twice, focusing on the lower part of the face where you put on a mask. You do not have to wear a mask during this additional setup process, but the scanner acts as if you are.<\/p>\n
This new feature doesn’t apply any restrictions on you to be able to unlock your phone in any way, with or without a mask you can access your phone, the report said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
