In addition to the official final version of macOS 11.2 Big Sur for all users, Apple released the rest of the beta versions of iOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4 and tvOS 14.5. These new versions add several important novelties but The most prominent one is undoubtedly that of iOS 14.5 that allows users who have an Apple Watch to unlock the iPhone with a mask on. This novelty means that Apple users who have a smart watch and an iPhone with Face ID can unlock the device with any type of mask.
Logically, the moment we remove the watch from our wrist, the unlocking will not be possible and it is that in principle it seems that the system is very similar to the one we Mac users use for a long time with the user code. Thus, anyone who has an Apple Watch in addition to being able to open the Mac directly without pressing the code can unlock the iPhone using a mask. We imagine that this function will be the same as on Macs and therefore the first time we unlock the iPhone must be with the code, the following should be automatic.
The rest of the beta versions released for developers add news regarding security and stability. We can also find some details about user privacy and other improvements. Logically these versions are for developers, so as always we recommend that stay away from its installation on your computers in case any error or incompatibility with your applications or tools of daily use appears.
