San Francisco, May 2 (IANS): Apple has reportedly introduced a new Face ID feature to unlock the iPhone without having to remove the face mask, in the latest beta version of iOS 13.5.
According to a CNN business report, Face ID will recognize when someone wears a mask, and the iPhone will open the passcode entry screen after swiping up from the bottom of the screen without further searching for users’ faces.
However, the Face ID tool will still not unlock the iPhone unless the user removes the mask, but it will make the change to the password unlock option faster.
Apple has not revealed when iOS 13.5 will be finalized and will be released to the general public.
Not all the features that appear in a beta version of iOS are included in the final version, but this seems to be a necessary change and is likely to reach users.
iOS 13.5 will also introduce Apple’s Contact Tracking API, intended to help with efforts to address the coronavirus by tracking contact with people who are confirmed to be infected.
