iOS 15.4 Is Now Rolling Out With A Huge Face ID Update You Can't Miss
Apple is now rolling out iOS 15.4 to all modern iPhones — and it comes with one of the biggest updates ever for Face ID. iOS updates are a fascinating thing to watch throughout the entire year. Apple releases a huge annual update each September. This includes major releases like iOS 13, iOS 14, iOS 15, etc. These are the updates where Apple introduces its biggest new features. iOS 13 added a system-wide dark mode, iOS 14 added widgets and the App Library, and iOS 15 brought Focus modes into the mix.
But these yearly updates aren't the only way Apple improves iOS. In between them are smaller 'point' updates, too. iOS 15.1 launched in October 2021 with SharePlay support, new features for the iPhone 13 Pro camera, and bug fixes for some of Apple's first-party apps. We also saw the App Privacy Report added with the iOS 15.2 update, whereas iOS 15.3 was mainly focused on patching critical security vulnerabilities.

After enabling the feature, all you need to do is perform a new Face ID setup scan. Once setup is complete, you can use Face ID to bypass the lock screen, open secure apps, and approve Apple Pay purchases — all while wearing a face mask. The one downside is that the functionality only works with iPhone 12 and newer models, meaning the iPhone 11, iPhone XS, and iPhone X don't have access to it.
A new Face ID trick isn't the only thing you get with iOS 15.4. Another big component is all of the new emoji that are now available. Some of the highlights
