Attention Apple fans! If you are an iOS user, we have good news for you. The new iOS 13.5 version is now available to update and brings some new features.
With the iOS 13.5 update, available for iPad and iPhone devices, some bugs are fixed, but new functions are also incorporated. In fact, with this version of the operating system, the API for developers that seek to deal with the coronavirus is included.
This means that the final public update of iOS 13.5 adds ideal features for the current times. It is an alert and tracking system that will notify if a user was exposed to the virus at any time.
According to VentureBeat, Apple released the stable version that arrives, among other features, with the COVID-19 tracking system, but also with facial recognition of protective masks.
As promised by Apple and Google, the companies are releasing their first version of coronavirus tracking, which will try to alert users if they have been in contact with someone infected, in addition to notifying people with whom He was in contact so that they take preventive measures and thus avoid, as far as possible, the spread of the virus.
Users of iOS 13.5 will have the scoop on this app that will offer medical authorities the information they need to track the possible contacts of those who have contracted the disease that is alerting everyone.
It should be noted that this new app does not work with data from the cloud but through Bluetooth signals and the transmission of unique codes generated by the app, along with daily cryptographic keys, which will allow users to keep their identities private.

In addition to the possibility of having the tracking system, the facial recognition of this new operating system will already be able to recognize people with face masks, preventing them from having to be removed to unlock a device.
Likewise, this update will prevent the battery consumption from being higher, and in FaceTime, there will be an option to control automatic prominence in group calls so that the video tiles do not change size when a participant speaks.
iOS 13.5 also fixes an issue where users may see a black screen when trying to play videos on some websites.
To update your device, just go to Settings / General / Software update. It will probably take a long time, so just be patient.
