Apple updates iOS: Unlocking iPhone with a mask will directly jump to the password interface

Beijing time, April 30th morning news, according to foreign media reports, Apple released a beta software on Wednesday, allowing users to unlock their phones more easily and conveniently without taking off their masks or going through facial recognition.

Currently, if you are wearing a mask, you must take it off for face recognition to unlock your iPhone. Unless, after the screen can no longer see your face clearly, you need to wait a short time and then enter the password input interface. You can also turn off the face recognition system, but then you will not be able to enjoy the convenience of face recognition when you are at home or not wearing a mask.

In the new version of iOS 13.5 beta 3 released on Wednesday, the phone screen can enter the password input interface faster, thus simplifying the unlocking process for people wearing masks. If you are wearing a mask, all you need to do is slide your finger and choose to skip the face recognition and enter the password directly, without having to wait.

Now compare:

• This means, for example, that when you pay with your phone at the checkout counter, you don’t need to fumble with your mask or wait for the password screen to pop up, you can easily unlock the screen. However, this version is only a beta software, and it may take a few more weeks until the final version with more stable performance is released.

The test version also includes the first new software released by Apple. Based on the new software, Apple users can more conveniently use applications to remind people if they have been close to patients with new coronary pneumonia.
