iOS 14.5 is not a minor update: this new version is available on Beta version For a few minutes, it has many new functions, including the one we requested Last November (Apple thanks for reading us 😬).

If you have an Apple Watch, you can now unlock the accessory iPhone. When the mask is worn, the Face ID will open automatically until the Apple Watch is unlocked.

As we understand it, the opening process requires information not only from the Apple Watch but also from the Face ID. You can also lock the iPhone from the clock.

On the other hand, with regard to other functions of Face ID (App Store authentication, for example), the Apple Watch does not do any favors and will always require full face recognition.

There is no hassle of entering the unlock code at all costs or badly, to lower the mask under the nose, so Face ID does its job. Some coped ” To learn They wore the mask to Face ID, and Apple tried to improve the process of identifying the face with the mask, but they were not all satisfactory. Obviously, we look forward to testing this innovation and we will keep you updated.

iOS 14.5 includes support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S / X controllers, 5G dual SIM support (finally !!) and AirPlay 2 for Fitness + Exercise, but without showing information from the Apple Watch. Finally, the last novelty of interest, once again and unfortunately, only for US users: part of the code Advertising An “Apple Card Family” This allows you to share your Apple Credit Card with other members of your family.
