Face ID Feature With Mask On

Web Desk — Good news for iPhone users as Apple has added a new feature in iOS 15.4 (currently in beta) having the ability to use Face ID even when someone is wearing a mask.

According to Macworld 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.

Apple had to add this new feature as the pandemic does not seem to disappear anytime soon and masks have become an essential “accessory” for people across the globe.

Being secure, Apple recommends using a full-face scan than the new mask Face ID update. But even then, it is an excellent solution to the “new normal” lifestyle.

An iOS update is required if you don’t have iOS 15.4. By following simple three steps, you can access the “mask on Face ID feature.”

1. Open the Settings.
2. Tap on Face ID & Passcode, then you’ll have to enter your passcode to access this menu.
3. Scroll down to Use Face ID With a Mask and toggle it on.

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.

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.
