What’s New in iPadOS 15.4 & iOS 15.4?
Apple’s latest update forks a bunch of fresh features into two big categories: security & convenience and new ways to work and play. Grab a seat – here’s the juicy rundown.
Face‑ID‑On‑Mask & other nifty security tricks
- Mask‑Friendly Unlock – Forget fidgeting with the button. With Face ID you can now unlock your iPhone even while rocking a mask.
- Personal Automation Silence – Tired of constant pings? Turn the notification bar for automations off. Your iPhone won’t nag you any more.
- iCloud Keychain Notes – Keep a personal scroll of secured notes right in the keychain. Super handy and super secure.
Cool New Tools for the Home Screen
- Apple Card Widget – Slide this sleek widget onto your Home screen for instant balance and transaction snapshots. No more scrolling through the app.
- Keyboard Brightness – For those who love readability in dim rooms, this tweak lets you set your hardware keyboard’s light level to just your taste.
Universal Control – One Mouse, Two Machines
Think multitasking was hard? Think again. Universal Control lets you juggle your Mac and iPad with a single keyboard and trackpad. No more switching flicks. Just glide your cursor across screens, copy & paste, and teleport files. Imagine the productivity.
Emoji & Emoji? There’s Even More!
When you think emojis are trend-iness, Apple drops brand‑new faces that make your texts feel alive. The catalog keeps expanding – more expression, less pep talk.
Stepping Into the Beta – Best Practices
If you want to test the bleeding edge, use a second device. That way you keep your primary machine safe from the occasional hiccup or data hic‑hockey. Think of the beta device as a sandbox in front of the big adventure.
