iOS 15.4 is certainly a big update, as it brings a ton of new features like unlocking Face ID while wearing a mask and universal controls, but it seems like more features are coming. Below are some of the new features discovered.
Previously, Apple has introduced the option to download iOS system updates using 5G cellular data on the iPhone 12 series. Now some iPhone 13 users have found that the use of cellular data to download iOS system updates has also been supported under 4G networks. In the software update interface, Apple will inform users through a pop-up window that they can use cellular data to download but may need to pay separately.
In addition to the above changes, Apple has also brought several new changes or fixes. Some users have noticed that users are now prompted to check their emergency contact settings after an update. Especially for users who don’t have emergency contacts set up on their iPhone. Clicking on this prompt will take the user to emergency contact settings.
Fixed the problem that the storage space was difficult to open or waited too long to open the storage space since the iOS 15 system. After the iOS 15.4 Beta 3 update, the opening speed became very fast.
iOS 15.4 Beta 3 also further fixes and improves the Chinese localization translation of the introduction to unlocking Face ID with a mask, showing “Use Face ID with a mask”.
Face ID is most accurate when set to recognize a full face and to use Face ID while wearing a mask, the iPhone can identify unique features around the eyes for authentication.
- Use Face ID when wearing a mask
- There is no need to wear a mask during setup.
- Don’t use Face ID when wearing a mask
- You can set this later in Settings.
iOS 15.4 Beta 3 also adds support for Apple Podcasts with the option to filter episodes by Played, Unplayed, Downloaded, or Saved.
In addition, some netizens said that the latest iOS 15.4 Beta 3 has changed the animation of opening the App and switching the App. After opening it, enter the desktop, and then open it and come out from left or right according to the background App position animation.
