FILE - The Apple logo hangs at Apple's Carnegie Library store in Washington. The latest software update from Apple now allows some users to open their phone with Face ID while wearing a mask, according to multiple reports.
iPhone users have complained that when they wear a mask or covering for their face to protect themselves against COVID-19 — particularly when running errands or going outside — they are unable to unlock their phones using Face ID.
Now, Apple’s IOS Beta 15.4 update basically uses the function to identify the top portion of a user’s face to unlock their phone, according to TechCrunch.
