In the early hours of this morning, Apple pushed the iOS 15.4 RC quasi-official version system update, but also pushed the iPadOS 15.4 RC, watchOS 8.5 RC and macOS 12.3 RC version, not surprisingly, the RC version will be the same as the official version of the update.
iOS 15.4 This update version number is 19E241, which is the last beta version before the official system push, which is generally consistent with the official version number, and the official version of iOS 15.4 will be released next week.
1. Wear a mask to unlock your iPhone
One of the main practical features added by iOS 15.4 is to wear a mask to unlock the iPhone, but at present, this function only supports A14-A15 devices, that is to say, only iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series devices are supported.
iPhone 12/13 users upgrade to iOS 15.4, you can see in the settings - Face ID and password, you can see the new "wear a mask to use Face ID" button, after opening only need to re-record Face ID, will pop up the mask to use Face ID prompt, you can also wear multiple pairs of glasses to enter the face, but also need to open the "Need to look to enable Face ID" button, so that when the user unlocks, the binocular direct view sensor can unlock the iPhone.
4. Added emoji emoji
Multiple new emojis have been added, including: melted face, lip bite, heart hand, troll, etc., upgraded to be viewable in the emoji list.
3. Tap Payments on your iPhone
iOS 15.4 Beta 2 added a new tap payment feature, "Tap Pay on iPhone" function, which allows NFC-compatible iPhones to pay through Apple Pay. This feature is only available for iPhone XS and above devices.
3. AirTag anti-tracking reminder
Because AirTag's tracking function is used by criminals to commit illegal crimes, Apple has previously said that it will add a warning prompt for users who use this feature. Now when you update to iOS 15.4, when you turn on Find For Settings airTag, a warning alert will pop up.
Remind users that using AirTag to track others is a crime around the world. Hopefully, this will reduce some of the illegal tracking behavior using AirTags.
iOS 15.4 also removes item safety warnings from the Find App interface and adds options for Custom Find Notifications and Custom Tracking Notifications. These two options can turn notifications on or off in the "Notifications" in the "Find" app in the settings.
