UPDATE: Feb. 50000 тг штраф за порнографию 2021, 1:16 p.m. EST The public betas for both iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 are now available for download.
I have good news and bad news about Apple's new Face ID feature that was released as part of the developer beta for iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4.
The good news? You'll soon be able to unlock your iPhone via Face ID whilewearing a face mask. The bad news? It only works if you own an Apple Watch.
So if you have both of these devices, congrats — you can cross one first-world problem off of your list. And if you don't, there are other workarounds, like simply typing in your passcode.
Here's how to set up the new feature once the final versions of iOS and watchOS are released to the public.
As of right now, the only way you can download iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 is if you're enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program.
Otherwise, you'll have to wait until Apple releases the final public versions. The company remains tight-lipped on when that'll actually be. But based on past developer beta and public release cycles, it'll likely be a few months from now.
When it isreleased, open your iPhone, head to Settings > General > Software Update,and tap on iOS 14.5. Once that's downloaded and installed on your phone, you can move on to updating your Apple Watch.

Go to the Watch app > General > Software Update and download watchOS 7.4.
Head to Settings > General > Software Updateand tap to install the new software.
Once both of your devices are updated, you can turn the new feature on.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Unlock with Apple Watchand toggle it on.

Once it's turned on, it should work right away. Credit: screenshot / apple There are also a few tweaks you'll have to make (if you don't already have these things turned on) to your Settings on the Apple Watch. Otherwise, the feature won't work at all.
To enable a Passcode on your Apple Watch, go to Settings > Passcode > Turn Passcode on and type in your chosen code.
Make sure "Wrist Detection" is toggled on. It shouldturn on automatically when you set up your Passcode since it uses the feature to determine when to lock the Apple Watch. But it's always good to double check.
Now, unlocking your iPhone using Face ID while wearing a face mask should be super simple.
You'll have to make sure you don't forget your Apple Watch at home, though. Credit: screenshot / apple As long as your Apple Watch is on your wrist, the iPhone will recognize it and immediately proceed to unlock. You'll feel the Watch buzz on your wrist and a notification will appear on it letting you know the iPhone has been unlocked. A button to lock the iPhone will also appear underneath that notification.
As for those workarounds I mentioned before, you can do one of the following:
Go to Settings > Face IDand disable "iPhone Unlock." You can either choose to go completely passcode-free or strictly rely on your custom numeric code
If you're reallyset on getting your iPhone to work with a face mask, you can attempt to trick the Face ID feature instead. Cover half your mouth with a mask, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Set up an Alternate Appearance, andscan an alternate Face ID appearance.
Again, this official Apple Watch / Face ID feature isn't available for everyone just yet — it's only available as a developer beta. Until it's publicly released, you're stuck being unrecognizable to your iPhone until you enter that passcode.
