Apple released an update iOS 15.4, she added Useful feature A new feature that allows you to unlock the iPhone using Face ID and authenticate Apple Pay payments even while you are wearing a mask, and this feature shows Apple’s confidence that the Face ID system can be relied upon even to authenticate a small part of your face and does not require the entire face. In this article, we show you the new custom settings that you have to do to unlock the iPhone using the mask?
The feature only works with 15.4 and iPhone 12 and later
In previous versions of iOS going back to iOS 14.5, it was possible to unlock an iPhone while wearing a mask, but only if you were wearing an Apple Watch as an extra layer of security, and the new option eliminates the need for an Apple Watch.
Another limitation of the previous Watch Unlock feature is that it doesn't allow you to authenticate Apple Pay transactions and app purchases, while the new Face ID With a Mask does.
To enable Face ID for facial recognition while wearing a mask, the iPhone can recognize unique features around the eye area for authentication, according to Apple. However, Apple cautions that using Face ID with a mask is considered less secure, and that the authentication system remains more accurate when used with full facial recognition.
Unfortunately, Face ID with mask is limited to some of the latest iPhones, although Face ID has been available since 2017 with the launch of the iPhone X. But it's only limited to iPhone 12 and later, so you'll need iPhone models iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 models.
