iOS 14.5 is rolling out updates for iPhone owners.  This update has one of the most useful features!!  The ability to unlock your phone while wearing your mask. If you have an Apple Watch, you can enable your paired and unlocked watch as a kind of key for unlocking their iPhones with Face ID.

Another feature with this update, is a privacy tool that will prompt you to opt out of tracking across websites and apps. Apple now requires app developers to ask users to consent to any app tracking, a move that aligns with Apple’s greater privacy push.

Then there’s a Waze-like Maps feature that will allow users to crowdsource incident reporting. iPhone users will be able to report an accident at a given point on your drive. If you happen to pass the accident, hazard, or speed trap again, you can update Siri that it’s still present or, alternatively, let Siri know that the incident has been cleared so that it will no longer appear in Maps.

The update will also support Apple’s AirTags. The company specified during its product event last week that the iOS 14.5 update would be required to set up and use its Bluetooth trackers.

And those of us who rely on Siri will notice that Siri no longer defaults to a feminine-presenting voice. When you set up your iOS device, you have the option to choose the voice you want to hear. For those who use English as their iPhone language, there are now more diverse voice options to choose from.

You can install iOS 14.5 by opening Settings, tapping General and then Software Update.
