Much better recognise people even when wearing masks.

Unknown commented on "Moderna Stock"

A major result of the 'wear a mask' mandates, was that the surveillance industry was able to train security algorithms to much better recognise people even when wearing masks.

With personal identities linked to phones people carry, and now having images of the same persons both masked and unmasked, and millions of test subjects, much was achieved.

Quite openly, Apple has announced that with updated iPhones and software, even users wearing face masks are now able to unlock their phones with Apple Face ID.

Apple Support online:

'With iOS 15.4 or later, you can use Face ID with a mask to unlock your iPhone while wearing a mask. If you're wearing a face mask or potentially other face coverings, Face ID with a Mask can analyse the unique characteristics around your eyes. When using Face ID with a Mask, you can still use Face ID to authenticate apps, unlock your iPhone and use Apple Pay. This feature is available on iPhone 12 and later with iOS 15.4 or later.'
