Soon unlock your iPhone via Apple Watch even with a mask on

NEW DELHI: Soon you will be able to unlock your iPhone with Face ID even when with a Covid-19 mask on, but only if you are wearing an Apple Watch. In the next iOS 14 update, Apple Watch will give you haptic feedback to let you know your iPhone has been unlocked, reports Pocket-lint. The new iPhone iOS version 14.5, now available as developer Beta, has the functionality to unlock your iPhone via Apple Watch as you travel around wearing a mask. You need to keep Apple Watch in close proximity to your iPhone to use this feature. This Apple Watch shortcut is only available for unlocking your iPhone and other functions will still require other authentication if your face is covered.
