iOS 14.5 Will Let iPhone Users Unlock Smartphone Directly via Apple Watch Even While Wearing a Mask

Apple appears to be working on a new feature that will help users unlock their iPhone models with Apple Watch, even while wearing a mask. The new iPhone unlock feature appeared with the first developer beta version of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4, that Apple started rolling out earlier this week. The new unlock feature is similar to Apple’s ‘unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch.’ According to 9to5Mac, developers need to go to Settings on the iPhone to enable the ‘Unlock with Apple Watch’ feature. The update brings a slew of changes to the iPhone operating system including changes to the camera app, certain bug fixes, and support for the new Apple Watch Unity faces.
