Apple Release Notes: < to be added >

iOS 13.5 speeds up access to the passcode field on devices with Face ID when you are wearing a face mask and introduces the Exposure Notification API to support COVID-19 contact tracing apps from public health authorities. This update also introduces an option to control automatic prominence of video tiles on Group FaceTime calls and includes bug fixes and other improvements.

Face ID and Passcode

  • Passcode field automatically presented after swiping up from the bottom of the Lock screen when you are wearing a face mask

Exposure Notification
  • Exposure Notification API to support COVID-19 contact tracing apps from public health authorities
FaceTime
  • Option to control automatic prominence on Group FaceTime calls so video tiles do not change size when a participant speaks

This update also includes bug fixes and other improvements.
  • Fixes an issue where users may see a black screen when trying to play streaming video from some websites
