The new iOS 15.4 is here and Apple users can’t keep calm. Apple announced the launch of iOS 15.4 during its event on March 8. It is believed that iOS 15.4 will be the last big update before iOS 16. There are many significant changes in the new iOS version. Now, we have new emojis (some of them are lit), mask-friendly face detection, and hold on, because we are not going to reveal everything at once.

If you have installed the new version or are yet to do so, here are the major updates you should look forward to:

1. NEW EMOJIS

The new iOS 15.4 offers new emojis including faces and hand gestures. Household objects are also now available on the emoji keyboard.

The handshake emoji will also allow you to choose separate skin tones for each hand.

Some emojis are too relatable, and every Apple user is now going to use these literally in every context. These are some of the best ones:

2. UNLOCK WITH MASK ON

Every phone user with a face ID unlock struggled with the feature after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Every time we pulled our masks down to unlock the phone, there was a slight fear of catching the virus during those few seconds.

Apple has solved this concern for users with iPhone 12 or newer.

3. HEALTH WILL KEEP TRACK OF COVID TOO

You might have used the health app to track your menstrual cycle or to count your daily steps. Now, it will allow you to feed Covid-related data too.

However, the feature is limited to EU digital Covid certificate. The app will also store Covid test results and recovery records.

4. BETTER SECURITY

The new version will improve security and fix all the bugs related to security in iOS 14.

5. OFFLINE SIRI

It gets quite irritating when Siri says, "Oops, lost the connection or the device is not connected to the internet."

Now a few Siri features can be enjoyed offline too. Siri can help you with time and date information while offline on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 or newer ones.

6. OTHER FEATURES

Safari web pages can now be translated into Italian and Chinese too.

Search for audio content in News is now enhanced in the Today Feed and Audio tab.

Camera in keyboard can be used to add text to Notes and Reminders.

Saved passwords can now include your own notes in Settings.

Twitter users are all excited to use the recently launched features. Let us know which one you liked the most.
