Last week, Apple pushed the official version update of iOS 14.5, which added the ability to use Face ID while wearing a mask, and AirTag support was officially in place.

Face ID can be used even with a mask

Because of the COVID-19, masks have become a necessity in life. When you need to wear a mask every day, the Face ID of the iPhone is not so convenient to use. With the arrival of iOS 14.5, you can use Face ID to unlock your phone while wearing a mask - if you have an Apple Watch. When wearing a mask, you only need to wear the Apple Watch on your wrist and look at the iPhone to unlock it. The Apple Watch will also notify you through tactile feedback.

The introduction of this feature makes Face ID easy to use again. Otherwise, to unlock the phone with Face ID, you must frequently remove the mask, which is troublesome and unsafe and very unfriendly to female friends with the makeup.

It should be noted that this feature is not cheap. You first need to have an Apple Watch Series 3 and above. Therefore, Apple's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone: first give you a convenient function, if you want to use it, then buy an Apple Watch!

AirTag support

Yes, your newly bought AirTag can now be used. With this update installed, you can use AirTag to track and find essential items in the "Find" app.

So, have you upgraded to the iOS 14.5?
