Apple is releasing beta iPhone software so users can unlock their phones while wearing a face mask.

On Wednesday, the technology behemoth said that iPhone users will be able to unlock their phones without using FaceID. The update comes as a response to people having trouble unlocking their devices because of how they have to wear masks as a precaution against the novel coronavirus.

Currently, in order to unlock an iPhone, one needs to pull their mask down so that the FaceID feature can recognize their face and grant access. The phones can also have a slow lag time when they aren’t able to detect a user’s face, reports NBC News.

In the brand new iOS beta 3 code, the passcode field is brought right to the main screen. If someone is wearing a mask, they can just swipe up and enter the code — and skip the annoying lag from facial recognition.
