iOS 14.5 adds ability to unlock an iPhone with an Apple Watch, App Tracking Transparency and more
Apple has released new software updates to iOS and iPadOS, bringing some rather big changes and support for new features. With iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, Apple has finally rolled it out its controversial App Tracking Transparency feature, added the ability to unlock an iPhone with an Apple Watch nearby, support for Apple Airtags and more.
While Apple’s FaceID biometric authentication works great most of the time, wearing a mask can become a problem. To solve this problem, Apple has finally added the ability to unlock an iPhone when their Apple Watch is on the wrist, unlocked, and in close proximity to iPhone.
