Unlock Your iPhone When You’re Wearing Your Mask This Way
Your phone doesn't recognize you when you're wearing a mask. It's kind of annoying.
Wearing a mask is the right thing to do, but it's inconvenient when you're phone can't use your face ID feature. There's a new iOS update that should help. The iOS 13.5 update won't help your iPhone recognize you by just your eyes and forehead, but it recognizes when you're wearing your mask and automatically switches to passcode protection.
Enter your passcode and you're in. So technically, back to the original way to get into your phone.
According to abc7chicago.com, Apple and Google also released long-awaited smartphone technology to automatically notify you if you might have been exposed to the coronavirus. Is that really going to work?
