JAKARTA - iPhone users get ready for iOS 15.4, the latest update to Apple's iOS 15 software. After a beta process that started in late January, iOS 15.4 is almost ready to be released next week.

This new operating system will be released before the arrival of the iPhone SE (2022) and the green iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models. The updated iOS will also be available for download on current iPhones capable of running iOS 15.

According to reports, iOS 15.4 will introduce AirTag anti-stalker alerts, a gender-neutral voice option for Siri, new emoji, updates to Face ID, and the long-awaited Universal Control.

As the name suggests, iOS 15.4 is the fourth major update to iOS 15, which launched with the iPhone 13 in September last year. This update, which started with the release of iOS 15.1 last December, has added more features to Apple's iPhone operating system and improves on existing ones.

iOS 15.4 will follow iOS 15.3.1, which was released last month to patch security vulnerabilities in iPhone and iPad. If later it is available, users only need to download this new operating system via Settings, click General, select Software update, and click Download and Install. The following is a brief explanation of the new features and capabilities that iOS 15.4 brings, quoted from CNET, Monday, March 14.

Universal Control

Universal Control lets users use another device as a second screen, seamlessly moving content between them using just one device.

This long-awaited feature was originally announced as part of macOS Monterey, but has been delayed. Universal Control has appeared in the iOS 15.4 beta, and will launch as a public beta alongside the Monterey OS 12.3 and iPadOS 15.4 updates.

Face ID Can Detect Users with Masks

Apple updated its Face ID feature so that it can be used while wearing a mask. Because this feature uses a smaller part of the face to verify the user's identity.

However, users must be more careful when holding the phone using Face ID. The user's phone will even ask them if they need to look more directly at the screen. The updated feature should work for people who wear glasses too, but won't work with sunglasses.

Lots of New Emojis Coming

It is known that a total of 37 new emojis will be coming in iOS 15.4, including new options for pregnant people, hands forming a heart shape, salute, lip biting emoji, including melting face, face holding back tears, bird's nest, coral, lotus, low battery and red beans.

Another feature included in the update is the ability to copy text from objects using the camera while in the Notes or Reminders app. Finally, iOS 15.4 is also claimed to fix a bug related to recording Siri interactions.
