On Monday, April 26th, Apple released a new software update called iOS 14.5 that includes many features. These features include the App tracking transparency feature, unlocking your iPhone<\/a> or iPad using Apple’s Face ID while wearing your coronavirus mask, setting a default music player of your choice, new emoji, Siri updates, and more. The two most important features that will affect your device’s security are the App Tracking Transparency and unlocking your device using Apple’s Face ID.<\/p>\n

What is Apple’s New App Tracking Transparency Feature Included in iOS 14.5?<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Discussing-mobile-app-537640-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

App tracking transparency will require apps to ask users for permission before they can track their data and activity<\/a> throughout their Apple device. Many social media networks and websites, such as Facebook or Google, track users’ activity to see what their interests are. Based on these users’ interests, these apps are usually able to create ads around what people are interested in instead of displaying random advertisements.<\/p>\n

However, with Apple’s new app tracking transparency, these users now have the option to decide whether or not they want these apps to track their activity. If they would like to see more personalized advertisements, they can give apps permission to tack their data and activity throughout their Apple device<\/a>. However, if they don’t feel comfortable with their data and activity being shared with certain apps or any app, they now have the option to say no.<\/p>\n

How to Unlock Your Apple Device While Wearing a Face Mask Using Face ID<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Man-in-face-mask-using-smartphone-795515-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

The coronavirus has made it difficult for people to unlock their Apple devices<\/a> while wearing a face mask. Therefore, Apple has made it easier for its users to unlock their devices while wearing a mask. In order to use this new feature, users must have an Apple Watch that is also updated. That way, the Apple device knows for a fact that the user is the one behind the face mask instead of someone else.<\/p>\n

Once the user has an updated Apple Watch, the user can unlock their phone with their face like they are used to, and it will unlock even if the user is wearing a mask. This also applies if they try to log into their apps while wearing a face mask.<\/p>\n
