With Apple announcing its Mac Studio, iPhone SE 3, Studio Display and more at its March 2022 event, the release of iOS 15.4 follows a week later and is available for your iPhone SE, iPhone 6S and later. Released in September 2021, iOS 15 brings SharePlay, widgets, Focus mode, and more to iPadOS, all with a productivity theme. But since then, Apple has been pushing the .1 update in full force, as 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3 all bring bug fixes and improvements to your iPhone and iPad.
With that in mind, here are five features you can familiarize yourself with when iOS 15.4 downloads to your device, let’s take a look!
1. Face ID with mask
While Apple has introduced a feature that allows your Apple Watch to verify your identity by unlocking your phone, that doesn’t help those who don’t have a watch. In iOS 15.4, you can enable an additional feature that requires you to scan your face while wearing a mask. The Face ID hardware will then recognize your eyes and facial features to unlock your phone.
2. iPadOS 15.4 Universal Controls
This was announced at WWDC, Apple’s annual developer conference in 2021, but was delayed from the second half of 2021 to the release of iPadOS 15.4. As long as you have a specific iPad model and a Mac running macOS 12.3 Monterey, you can use the mouse cursor on both devices so you can drag and drop your content seamlessly.
3. New emoji
The new update wouldn’t be the same without the new emoji, and this time you can use a bunch. From greetings to gender-specific pregnancy, and many new gestures, your WhatsApp and Twitter messages have plenty to choose from.
4. Better AirTag anti-tracking measures
When you set up the new AirTag in iOS 15.4, you’ll see a pop-up stating that using it to track people is a crime, making users aware of its misuse around the world to date. There’s also a better way to manage its notifications through the Find My app, so you can configure time-tracking when your alerts arrive, while deciding whether to send them all at once or at a certain time of day.
5. Notes in iCloud Keychain
Since 2019, with the release of iOS 13, you’ve been able to save and sync your passwords in iCloud. But 15.4 allows you to add notes to your custom iCloud password via iCloud Keychain.
While this may sound like a small feature, it’s important because other password apps have been around for years, and the convenience of adding a few extra reminders to these sections can be helpful, especially if you have a lot of accounts for the same site.
