Apple lets you use Face ID to unlock your iPhone when wearing a MASK

Nearly two years since the Covid pandemic started, Apple is finally letting iPhone users unlock their iPhone with Face ID when wearing a face mask. Face ID, Apple's facial recognition system, has reportedly received the all-important update as part of iOS 15.4, which is now going through beta testing. Florida-based iOS user Brandon Butch, one of the early testers, has posted screenshots of the new feature to Twitter. It seems iPhone users have the option to turn the tool on and off, although Apple says Face ID is more effective while being able to see the entire face. Since the start of the pandemic, getting Face ID to automatically recognise our face to unlock our iPhones has been a bugbear as we've had masks over our faces.
