iOS 15.4: the main news
First of all some will be introduced new emojis. SharePlay and FaceTime sessions can be avoided within applications that support the feature. Also the Siri voice assistant has been improved. With iOS 15.4 it will be able to provide information on the time and date even when the phone is turned off (on iPhone XS or higher) and new voices have been introduced in different countries.

News also on the calls of emergency SOS which can be recalled by long pressing the side button or by 5 presses in quick succession.
The FaceID with mask
With iOS 15.4 a feature is also introduced that will be very useful to all users of Apple mobile devices. In fact, with the update the FaceID for unlocking the phone will also work with a faceplate. The feature will be available only your iPhone 12 or higher and Apple Watch is not required - which of course will continue to be usable with devices that don't support the new feature. The new system overcomes the problem of the mask by working on eye recognition. Obviously, with the new FaceID you can also authorize payments with Apple Pay.
What if FaceID doesn't work?
As we have seen, the new version of the FaceID that supports the unlocking of the device with the mask, is only available for some newer devices. Even in other cases, however, the FaceID may be ineffective. Sometimes you receive the message "FaceID not available" which makes it impossible to access the phone if you do not remember the access code.
