On April 27, it was reported that in the early morning of this morning, Apple pushed the official system update of iOS 14.5 to its iOS devices. The size of the update package was about 1.2GB, and this version brought many functional updates.

Considering the inconvenience of using face ID to unlock iPhone when wearing a mask during the epidemic, Apple has added the function of using Apple Watch to help unlock iPhone in iOS 14.5 - the phone will enable Face ID by default, and will use the paired Apple Watch to unlock when the face ID fails to unlock. This function needs to be manually opened in the settings, and supports iPhone X and subsequent updated models. The watch supports Apple Watch Series 3 and subsequent updated models, and needs to be upgraded to watchOS 7.4.

Another upgrade focus is privacy protection. iOS 14.5 has actually installed the APP tracking transparency function, and users can now control whether the APP and website can track their online behavior data (this should be very dissatisfied with the APP relying on third-party advertising business).

The "Find" APP has added support for the newly released AirTag. Users can find their important items through the "Find" APP and the "Find" network built by a large number of iOS devices. The iPhone 11 and 12 series can use the U1 chip to achieve the "accurate search" function.

The intelligent data mode of iPhone 12 series optimizes the battery life and other experiences under 5G; The battery health report system will recalibrate the maximum battery capacity and peak performance capacity of the iPhone 11 series to solve the problem of inaccurate battery health report estimation encountered by some users.

In addition, iOS 14.5 also adds support for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 DualSense wireless handles.
