Apple has stated that iOS 15.4 will be released next week. Another technique to unlock your device with Face ID while wearing a mask will be available to iPhone users in the coming days. Without removing your mask or entering in your passcode, you won’t need an Apple Watch to unlock your phone.

Since January, Apple has been testing the functionality in public betas. In the Face ID & Passcode area of Settings, you’ll need to manually activate it. There’s one catch: it won’t work if you’re wearing sunglasses.

Other features expected to arrive as part of iOS 15.4 include an anti-stalking warning for AirTags, a less-gendered voice option for Siri, PS5 DualSense controller adaptive trigger support, a way to add notes to iCloud Keychain passwords and dozens more emoji.

In addition, macOS Monterey 12.3 and iPadOS 15.4 will be released next week. Those updates will include the long-awaited Universal Control feature, which will allow you to control multiple Macs and iPads with one keyboard and trackpad or mouse. Apple announced Universal Control at WWDC in June, but delayed it from the fall until this spring.
