Apple is rolling out a new version of its operating system. Many users have been waiting to try out the new features since the company began testing them back in January. The option tounlock your device while wearing a mask makes it so that you don't need an Apple Watch tounlock your phone without removing a face covering or inputting your password. The Face ID and Passcode section of the settings menu is where you'll need to manually set it up.

iPadOS 15.4 was released by Apple. Universal Control is a feature that has been anticipated. At the end of the year, it was announced that it would allow you to control multiple Macs and iPads with a single keyboard and mouse. The 37 new emoji characters were introduced as part of the update. You can use characters like the melting face in your text conversations and add skin tones to the handshake.

To download the new updates, launch the settings app on your phone, then tap General, followed by Software Update.
