The American electronics giant Apple has released the new version of its operating system for smart devices, which is iOS 15.4.
The release contains a wide range of new features that facilitate access to and increase the functionality of iPhone smartphones.
Universal Control
The new version of the operating system includes the long-awaited feature known as “Universal Control” to operate the “Face ID” function, that is, the use of facial features as a password to unlock the iPhone, which allows the use of “Face ID” even if the user wears a muzzle. protective. The new version also includes 37 new emoji.
As the name iOS 15.4 indicates, the new version represents the fourth new update to the basic version of iOS 15 and was launched with the iPhone 13 smartphone last September.
These updates, which started with 15.1 last December, added more features and functionality to Apple’s smartphone operating system and improved existing versions.
The new “Universal Control” feature also allows the use of other Apple devices as a second screen for the smartphone, while moving the contents of the phone between the two devices in an easy way as if they were one device.
This feature was first revealed as part of the Mac OS X Monterey operating system, but its release was delayed during the fall, and then talk regarding its launch began this spring. This feature was part of the beta version of iOS 15.4 and was released as a beta feature in Monterey OS 12.3 and iPad OS 15.4.
Since the Universal Control feature is still in the beta phase, some problems may appear during its use and it may not work with all iPhone devices currently.
And Apple updated the “Face ID” feature so that it can be used with iPhone 12 and later generations, while wearing a muzzle.
And because this feature depends on a small part of the user’s face to identify his identity, the user needs to be more accurate in relation to the angle of the phone while photographing the face when using the “FaceID” feature.
Biggest update
It is possible that this update will be the largest for “iPhone” phones this year, with the exception of the awaited update “iOS 16”, which is expected to be announced in June during the Apple developers conference.
And last week, Apple unveiled the new, low-cost iPhone, which supports the fifth generation network feature, and it is scheduled to start selling in stores this week.
