(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Chae Sae-rom = You can now unlock the iPhone with face recognition even if you wear a mask.

Apple announced on the 2nd that it has released beta versions of the developers of iOS 14.5 and iPad OS 14.5 containing these contents.

According to the update, users can unlock the iPhone using Face ID (face recognition) if they are wearing an Apple Watch even if they are wearing a mask that covers both their mouth and nose. When unlocked, the Apple Watch vibrates.

This feature is available by selecting “Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch” in iPhone settings. The certified Apple Watch must be worn on the wrist, and the distance between devices must be close.

In the meantime, users of the latest releases of iPhone X and above have suffered inconveniences in using Face ID as wearing masks has become common since Corona 19. If you wear a mask, you can’t use Face ID, so you had to enter a password or set an alternate appearance with a mask on to use Face ID.

For this reason, foreign media and others believe that the existing Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) will be introduced together with Face ID in’iPhone 12S’ this year.

In this update, Apple has improved the transparency of app tracking. Developers have to get user permission before they can track users. Users can also change settings by checking which apps are allowed to track in’Settings’.

On the iPad, handwriting recognition languages ​​have also been expanded to Portuguese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
