Apple recently launched a update beta for iOS 13.5, which we could rather call "pandemic iOS update", instead of the version "iOS 13.5 Public Beta 2 ".
New version of iOS includes the first version of the API developed in partnership with Google, in which confirmed contacts with COVID-19 are tracked, and those with whom they have been in contact in the last 14 days will be notified. An API for which the two CEOs from Apple and Google have agreed to develop and implement both iOS 13 as well as Android 11.
The API will be available starting today, May 1, 2020, and for government institutions whose developers will be able to come up with new ideas for improvement and will be able to develop population alerting applications.
Settings for Covid-19 Exposure Notifications are available in Settings > Privacy> Health> COVID-19 Exposure Notifications.
Another novelty a iOS 13.5 is related to facial identification. Face ID is a measure of biometric security very strong, but during this period many people wear it respiratory protection mask on face. release iPhone or making payments through Apple Pay can't do much with Face ID if at that moment we were wearing a mask.
Apple has slightly modified this technology, and if at the time of unlocking we have a mask on our face, instead of Face ID the screen to enter the password will be activated automatically / PINthe iPhone unlocker.
Unlocking will be done automatically with Face ID when not wearing a respiratory protection mask.
iOS 13.5 Public Beta 2 is available for all users who have the devices iPhone or iPad enrolled in Apple Beta Software Program.
Soon, this update will be received by all device owners iPhone compatible iOS 13.
