The new iOS 15.4 update package which will introduce a number of useful features. The update is available for iPhone 6s or newer devices and also for iPod Touch 7G and for the latest iPad models equipped with iPadOS of course. Let’s see the main innovations introduced with this update.
iOS 15.4: the main news
First of all some will be introduced new emojis. SharePlay and FaceTime sessions can be avoided within applications that support the feature. Also the Siri voice assistant has been improved. With iOS 15.4 it will be able to provide information on the time and date even when the phone is turned off (on iPhone XS or higher) and new voices have been introduced in different countries. Also on Safari has been added support for the translation of web pages in Italian and Chinese.
The Wallet application can now also contain the Green Pass. The Health app has also been updated with a dedicated section to show the Green pass and all the data relating to vaccine administration and healings.
The application Podcast now allows you to use a filter for seasons, episodes played and not played or those saved and downloaded. With iCloud you will be able to create emails with your own custom domain. It will also be possible to add notes to the passwords saved in the keychain. News also on the calls of SOS emergency which can be called up by pressing the side button for a long time or with 5 presses in quick succession.
The FaceID with mask
With iOS 15.4 a feature is also introduced that will be very useful to all users of Apple mobile devices. In fact, with the update the FaceID for unlocking the phone will also work with a faceplate. The feature will be available only on iPhone 12 or higher and Apple Watch is not required – which of course will continue to be usable with devices that don’t support the new feature. The new system overcomes the problem of the mask by working on eye recognition. Obviously, with the new FaceID it will also be possible to authorize payments with Apple Pay.
What if FaceID doesn’t work?
As we have seen, the new version of the FaceID that supports the unlocking of the device with the mask, is only available for some newer devices. Even in other cases, however, the FaceID may be ineffective. Sometimes you receive the message “FaceID not available” which makes it impossible to access the phone if you do not remember the access code.
