iOS 14.5 public beta lets Apple Watch users try the new mask-friendly Face ID – Yahoo News Australia
No more hammering in a passcode when you’re out and about in a mask.
The public betas of iOS and iPad OS 14.5 are out, giving eligible users their first taste of automatically unlocking their iPhone while wearing a face mask. The system, as 9to5Mac demonstrates, just needs to be activated in the settings menu, and will then let you use an unlocked Apple Watch on your wrist as the key. That way, when youre out and trying not to give anyone COVID-19, youre spared the irritation of entering your passcode manually.
