UPDATE: Feb. 5, 2021, 1:16 p.m. EST The public betas for both iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 are now available for download. I have good news and bad news about Apple's new Face ID feature that was released as part of the developer beta for iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4. The good news? You'll soon be able to unlock your iPhone via Face ID while wearing a face mask. The bad news? It only works if you own an Apple Watch. So if you have both of these devices, congrats â you can cross one first-world problem off of your list. And if you don't, there are other workarounds, like simply typing in your passcode.
