iOS 14.5 - iPhone unlock with mask via Apple Watch, New Emoji, Airtag Support

Unlock iPhone with mask on face

It may have been more to come, but now it is welcome to which we can We unlock iPhone when we have a face mask. With the help Apple Watch This is possible with iOS 14.5. The condition is to have an iPhone with the latest version of iOS and an Apple Watch 3 (or newer model) with watchOS 7.4. In a future article we will show you how to work exactly unlocking iPhone with Apple Watch and what minuses it has.

So this feature will not work if you do not have Apple Watch.

ATT (App Tracking Transparency) to increase users' intimacy

Att is a millstone for Facebook and other big players on the online publicity market. In short, services such as Facebook. Twitter, Instagram, etc., collected through applications and websites, information preferences information. These data collected on the basis of an identifier of each user (IDFA) "Identifier for Advertising" could be used to deliver personalized published ads. For example, if you access on Facebook an article about "evening dresses", you will continue to receive ads to "evening dresses" on several applications. Google works. If you are looking for a product or service on Google. Advertisements for that product / service will appear on YouTube and other sites that are in the Google's advertising network.

So entered by Apple, will make every application that use this users' behavior tracking system to provide more transparent. For example, the application Facebook It will ask users if they allow their activity to be followed on other applications / websites of other companies.

"Allow Facebook to track your activity across other companies apps and websites?"

Emoji - heart in flames, bandaged heart and others

IOS 14.5 brought on the iPhone and a new set of emoji. Besides "Heart on Fire", "Mending Heart" were added a few new girls and many combinations of "pigment" in couples. Apple militates a lot on equality and unity.

AirTag si Find My

Apple added support for new device location options AirTag. Precision Finding with visual, sound and haptic response, using ultra wideband of the u1 chip present on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. At the same time Airtag can be found used the network "Find My"But as I said before in the article, it is necessary for Airtag to enter an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 in order to be located.
"Lost Mode" will send notification when Airtag has been found and the users can enter a phone number to be contacted. A very useful option when someone else finds the device.

Siri - new voices for Apple's smart assistant

It seems like this thing with variety and equality risks to fall in pain. Siri will no longer have a default woman's voice, and the voices of Siri Voice are no longer passed with ”female"si"male". They are simply passed with" Voice 1 "..." Voice 4 ".

Besides the ones mentioned above, iOS 14.5 has also brought news in improvements in the applications:

Podcast (Podcasts Show Pages was redesigned and made easier to start listening to an episode)

Reminders (The possibility of sorting the reminder by title, date, priority and date of creation - I did not find the option. Option to print the reminder lists).

- Controller support for games. Xbox Series X|S Wireless Controller or Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller

- improvements of 5G connectivity and management on iPhone 12.
