The beta process of iOS 15.4 / iPadOS 15.4 versions, the fourth major update of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, continues. The first beta versions were released to developers in January, and the fifth beta of the new update was released in early March.

iOS 15.4, known to be the most important update Apple has ever released for iOS 15, eliminates a problem that plagues iPhone users: It will now be possible to open Face ID with a mask on the iPhone. So when will the long-awaited iOS 15.4 version be released? The answer came from Apple.

When will iOS 15.4 be released?

Apple showed up with many new products, including iPhone SE 2022, Mac Studio, Studio Display, iPad Air 5, green iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, at its “Peek Performance” event yesterday. The company answered that question right after this event; It also clarified when iOS 15.4 will be released.

Apple’s official Newsroom page refers to the new iOS version as “iOS 15.4 will be available as a free software update starting next week.” statements were included. Although the exact day is not specified, considering that the new green color option of the iPhone 13 will go on sale on March 18, we can say that iOS 15.4 will be released on Friday at the latest.

As it will be remembered, Apple solved the problem of Face ID not turning on when wearing a mask, with the Apple Watch and iPhone unlock feature. However, not everyone uses an Apple Watch and does not want to buy a smart watch just for Face ID. With the iOS 15.4 version, it will finally be possible to open Face ID with a mask.

will be released on macOS Monterey 12.3 concurrently with iOS 15.4 / iPadOS 15.4. With these versions, the Universal Control feature will come into our lives. Thanks to Universal Control, for example, you’ll be able to use your MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad directly on your iPad. Of course, the same iCloud account must be open on both devices.

Plus new Siri voice, new emojis, adjusting the brightness of the connected keyboard, adding vaccination records in Wallet and Health in EU Compliant Digital COVID Certificate format, new customization options in the TV app, and enabling SharePlay directly from the share page and many more innovations will come with iOS 15.4.
