The latest software update from Apple allows users to open their phone with Face ID while wearing a mask.

If you have an iPhone, you've probably noticed Face ID doesn't work while wearing a mask or face covering.

Now, Apple's IOS Beta 15.4 update uses the function to identify the top portion of a user's face to unlock their phone, according to TechCrunch.
