Apple this week launched the first beta version of the upcoming iOS 14.5 update, a week after it released an update iOS 14.4 With bug fixes and new updates. It came with several new advantages that we will talk about later in detail when Apple releases the final version. One of the most important upcoming features is the iPhone unlocking feature while you are masked or wearing the muzzle! Unfortunately, this is only in the interest of those who own an Apple Watch and with the update of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4, with this you will be able to unlock the iPhone automatically while you are wearing a face mask.
How to set up an iPhone unlock while wearing a face mask
Once the final versions of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 are released to the public, you can unlock the iPhone through the Apple Watch, but you have to do these steps first:
Make sure to update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest version
The only way to download the iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 update now is to have a developer account. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for Apple to release the public releases. Then update immediately, unlock your iPhone, go to Settings - General Software Update and install iOS 14.5 update. Once you have downloaded and installed it on your phone, you can move on to update the Apple Watch.
And to update the Apple Watch, you have it Two options: You can either download it from the watch application on the iPhone by going to the software update and then download watchOS 7.4, or directly from the watch itself through the settings - general software update and then installing the new program.
Turn on the new "Unlock with Apple Watch" feature
Once both devices are updated, you can turn on the new feature. On the iPhoneGo to Settings, then Face ID and Passcode, and then under the Unlock with Apple Watch section, turn on the Apple Watch option.
There are also some adjustments that you will have to make, if you don't already have these things turned on, to your settings on the Apple Watch. Otherwise, the feature will not work at all.
To enable the passcode on the Apple Watch, go to Settings - Passcode - Turn on Passcode, and type in the password.
Make sure the Wrist Detection feature is turned on. It should turn on automatically when setting your passcode because it uses the feature to determine when the clock will be locked. But it is always a good idea to check back.
Unlock iPhone using Apple Watch
Now, unlocking your iPhone using Face ID while wearing a face mask should be very simple.
As long as your Apple Watch is on your wrist, the iPhone will recognize it and immediately begin unlocking. You will feel the tone of the watch on your wrist, and a notification will appear on it to inform you that the iPhone has been unlocked. The iPhone lock button will also appear below this notification.

This feature has been available on iMac for a long time
I am surprised why companies have not invested in iris reader, a powerful technology that works even in the darkness !! 🤔
It is not necessary to acquire an Apple Watch
A great move from Apple
This means that we must take the watch off sleep
Otherwise, locking the phone has no value and the person is asleep as long as he is wearing his Apple Watch.
I am not talking about husband and wife only, but rather between friends and roommates, for example.
I think this will infiltrate the privacy of a company known to protect it from Apple !!
Very good
I used to sell Apple Watch and Hunted 😅🙏
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣
Incomplete, but unlock the iPad and complete the system!
But it is assumed that even those who have an iPhone with a fingerprint can unlock the device by the hour because it is possible to wear gloves of all kinds for cold or protection!
Can you try it on iphonse se 2020?
Because my hands are not always at their best due to the nature of my work, so I have to use a password instead of a fingerprint, but there are many who wear gloves as well. Please try it and let us know.
Wonderful O Apple
A great feature for iPhone after it was for Mac only
How to solve the problem of unlocking the iPhone while wearing the mask?
Tim Cook: Did they give us a solution that would give us guys money?
One of the employees: Let it open with an Apple Watch so everyone can buy it
Tim Cook: Give it to Lexus.
😂😂🤦🏻♂️ You cannot open it with the password
I downloaded the developers version to try the feature and it is really wonderful, especially for those who spend a long time outside the house .. With the opening of the phone, a slight jolt of the watch arrives for the alarm. A wonderful
Don't you think that this development negatively affects the sensitivity 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙄𝘿 the fact that the muzzle conceals half of the face?
A sweet idea, but I was surprised to limit it only to those who own an Apple Watch!
I wish it applied to the iPhone without the watch
So that he accepts a picture with a mask and a picture without a mask, captures the details and identifies the person
After suffering a full year with the muzzle, Apple innovated and delighted us with its creativity
An excellent idea, but it will negatively affect the charging consumption of the watch
Awesome!
Ok, a solution for me with them is an Apple Watch, just ok, and someone with whom he or she is from another company.
????
God be upon you, oh
(Neither mind nor thought) creativity 🔥 😍

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It is imposed from the beginning of the crisis, but it remains an excellent step for them to take a lead in.
A really great feature that will relieve us from the suffering of unlocking the iPhone while wearing the muzzle and every time we type the code
