iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4: What’s new?
New features in Universal Control
Universal Control, which was meant to be released last fall but was postponed until spring 2022, is now available on iPadOS 15.4. AirPlay and Handoff, which allows you to transfer files between an iPad and a Mac running macOS 12.3, can be found in the General Settings section of the app. You’ll see a new Cursor and Keyboard option in the menu. Check out our primer on Universal Control and how it differs from Sidecar.
Face ID works with Mask
Finally, you don’t need to open your mask to unlock your iPhone with the Face ID feature. It works with the mask on now.
Face ID with a Mask is a new toggle in iOS 15.4’s Face ID & Passcode settings. For unlocking, payments, and password/login authentication, Face ID uses “the distinctive features around the eye area to authenticate,” rather than full facial recognition. Additionally, a new “Add Glasses” option has been added to help the system better recognize your characteristics. Face ID is more accurate when the settings are switched off, according to Apple.
Changes on AirTag
This year, Apple has announced a number of modifications to AirTag, the first of which will be included in iOS 15.4. AirTag is “designed to be detected by victims and to enable law enforcement to request identifying information about the owner,” according to a new warning from Apple during setup. It also states that it is illegal to track someone using an AirTag without their consent.
