iOS 15.4 adds the ability to use Face ID to recognize users while wearing a mask. At the same time, the smartphone scans the areas around the eyes for authentication. iPadOS 15.4 introduces Universal Control, allowing you to control multiple Macs and iPads with a single mouse/trackpad and keyboard.

The updates also add 37 new emoji and lay the groundwork for a new “Push to Pay on iPhone” feature that allows NFC-enabled iPhones to accept payments via Apple Pay. There are also updates to add custom domains to iCloud Mail right on the device, Siri improvements, new Emergency SOS features, and more.
