If you skipped iOS 13.5, iOS 13.5.1, iOS 13.6, and iOS 13.6.1, iOS 13.7 brings additional upgrades that could be useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The iOS 13.5 update included a small tweak to Face ID that makes it easier to skip Face ID unlock if you're wearing a mask.

With iOS 13.7, iOS 13.6.1, iOS 13.6, iOS 13.5.1, or iOS 13.5 on board your iPhone, Face ID will be able to detect if you’re wearing a mask.

Apple says the feature works when authenticating with the App Store, Apple Books, Apple Pay, iTunes, and other apps that support signing in with Face ID.
