iOS 15.4 face recognition with masks
Just installed iOS 15.4 on my phone it allows face recognition whilst wearing a mask. It’s a bit late in the day for most, although not here in Scotland where masks are still compulsory in some situations. It works well - and good for hearing aid wearers as I was always dislodging my aids when removing the mask.

That's interesting. I never thought it might be a problem. One of my Redmi (Xiaomi) phones is set for face recognition. Seems to work all the time. The other is linked to my MiFit band and unlocks when I pick it up.
Amusing when a solution is found to a problem just when it's going away. Mask wearing, that is.

OFSO, how practical /useful is the MiFit unlock?
And also they changed the name of the app but not something on it!

MiFi unlock works every time. I think. Because I can't tell if the phone ever locks, as I wear the band all the time. Like those self unlocking cars where you keep going back to see if it's ever locked and it's always open...
