After the new update of the iPhone operating system, users will be able to use Face Scan to unlock their phone even if they are wearing masks.
 


Yet whenever you try to use Face ID to unlock a masked phone, a screen is activated and asks users to type in their passcode, which is confusing for many. And they feel bad.


iOS 14.5 upgrade will fix this issue.


But users will still need to wear one of Apple's latest smartwatches to unlock it. Because it is not possible without them.


Must wear a Watch Series 3 or later watch, which the user has already unlocked. This is done to ensure maximum security as the mask-wearing face will not be scanned in great detail.


Additional sign in


A beta version of the software has been made available to developers and is expected to be rolled out gradually.


But it has to be downloaded automatically by going to the default settings of the phone and this will not happen automatically.


And it will only unlock the handset, while for now activating Apple Pay or purchasing from the App Store, iTunes or Safari web browser will definitely require additional sign-in.

In 2020, Chinese researchers suggested that the Face ID could be set to identify a masked face by folding the mask in half and placing it on the bottom of the face and then scanning it.


Meanwhile, Android devices have yet to come up with an official solution to unlock facial recognition.


In 2017, Samsung launched an iris scanner that was prominent in its Galaxy S8 and S9 series.


But the first version released was successfully hacked by German hackers using a printer and a contact lens.


At the time, Samsung said it would need "a rare combination of circumstances" to make it effective.


But now it has abandoned this feature.
