American tech giant Apple has released a software update that enables iPhone users to unlock their devices while having face masks on.
The new update, iOS 15.4, released on Monday also includes a host of other features for existing iPhones.
In a statement, Apple said the new feature allowing users to unlock their iPhones using Face ID while having masks on is exclusive to iOS 15.4 and only available on iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max.
Once the device is updated, users will see the option to use Face ID with a mask on the welcome screen, PTI reported from Washington.
Other improvements in the update include safety messages during AirTag setup, a new Siri voice, and the ability to answer questions about time and data while offline.
