What's new in the iOS 13.5 beta
Once the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is over, or at least stopped, we will have to face what experts call the "new normal". This “new normal” implies some measures, such as the widespread use of masks.
The use of masks has proven to be a great impediment for users of iPhone with FaceID And, having great part of the face covered by the mask, the iPhone X, XS, XR, 11 and 11 Pro, and the iPad Pro are not able to unlock the device.
Most of the new features in iOS 13.5 are focused on the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic:
To try to solve this impediment certain ideas have arisen that can be effective But with iOS 13.5 things will change since Apple will make it easier to unlock devices for iPhone and iPad users with FaceID
From this version of the operating system FaceID will detect if we have a mask on our face. Not only a mask, but also if we have any clothing that covers our mouth or nose, making it difficult to unlock using FaceID.
If this is the case, the iPhone or iPad will directly give us the option to unlock the device using the code. That is to say, it will not make several attempts to unlock with FaceID as before and will show the unlock code option directly, if it cannot be unlocked with FaceIDat first.
Coronavirus exposure notifications, which must be activated and will be voluntary
In addition, this measure to unlock our iPhone and iPad, iOS 13.5 will be the update that will bring contagion notifications from COVID-19 These notifications would allow us to know, anonymously, if we have been in contact with someone who has the Coronavirus and they are the notifications that derive from the alliance between Apple and Google.
The update to iOS 13.5 is still in beta and is expected to reach all users by mid-May, if not sooner. What do you think of these news? They seem to us to be quite useful in the midst of this pandemic.
