Apple is always coming out with innovative features, and its newest iOS 14.5 update is much needed, especially because some of it focuses on current pandemic-related issues. The tech giant just launched a feature that allows users to unlock their iPhone with their Apple Watch — and, most importantly, it can be done with a mask on! This new innovation only works for people who have an iPhone that uses Face ID (iPhone X or later) and an Apple Watch that is a Series 3 or later. Additionally, your Apple Watch needs to be paired with your iPhone and they both need to have WiFi and Bluetooth turned on (you don't need to be connected to a WiFi network, though). To take advantage of this new feature, follow these easy steps:
The cool thing about this feature is that if you have a mask on (or even if you don't), your iPhone only needs to scan part of your face instead of the whole thing. Now when you have this feature turned on you don't need to hurriedly pull your mask down to make Face ID work or have to fumble around while trying to put your passcode in. The future of tech is at your fingertips!
