iOS 15.4 is updated again, and the unlocking function with a mask is more useful

iOS15.4 Beta2

Early this morning, Apple quickly launched the second beta version of iOS15.4. It can be seen that the frequency of Apple's system launches has increased a lot recently.

Since the previous Beta1 version already had very large updates, such as face recognition with masks, this Beta2 is mainly based on some functional adjustments and fixes.

If you upgrade from the previous Beta1 version, the update package is about 900MB. It is a routine update. After the update, the version number becomes: 19E5219e.

Now let’s take a look at what good things the surprising iOS15.4 Beta2 version brings!

1. Adjustment of unlocking function when wearing a mask

After the previous version supported facial recognition while wearing masks, Apple has optimized this feature again.

Now when setting up your mask face, it will show "iPhone can recognize unique features around the eyes for authentication", which means that this function will not be recognized if your eyes are blocked (such as wearing sunglasses).

In addition, according to actual tests by foreign media, Apple has once again optimized the function of recognizing faces while wearing masks, and now the recognition speed and accuracy are higher.

And when unlocking the phone while wearing a mask, the words "Swipe up to unlock" previously displayed on the phone screen changed to "Look down to unlock".

2. Added tap-to-pay feature

According to Apple, Apple began to support tap-to-pay in this version, and payments can be made by simply touching two iPhones together, using the NFC function.

However, this feature requires activation by the payment institution, and transactions can only be made using Apple Wallet, so it is of little use in mainland China.

3. Improve Siri privacy issues

Some users have previously discovered that there was a bug in the system. Even if the Siri improvement and dictation functions were turned off in the initial settings, recording would still occur automatically.

Now, after the update is completed, Apple will guide users to enter the settings to switch this function separately and completely turn off Siri's recording function.

4. Amplifier function adjustment

Now in the auxiliary function amplifier, you can long press the camera icon to enter the new menu bar, where you can see three magnification options: "Auto", "Close-up" and "Front".

5.Fixed sound effect issues

In the previous version, we also mentioned that the sound effect of entering the password in the password setting has changed. Unexpectedly, it was a BUG, ​​which has now been fixed.

6. Fix iCloud+ issues

Fixed an issue in previous versions where the setup could not be completed when customizing iCloud + Private Mailbox.

7. Fix the nucleic acid detection problem

Fixed the issue where the EU nucleic acid test results could not be added to the wallet normally in some countries and regions.

Overall, this iOS15.4 Beta2 version is mainly a repair version and there is no major functional update. If you have already updated the Beta1 version, you can continue to update.
