21st May 2020: On Wednesday, Apple released the latest version of iOS 13.5. This version was previously available to developers only in the beta version and is now finally accessible to the broader public.

The update might be lingering on your notifications, and while you may be annoyed at the time every update consumes, there’s plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t delay this update.

“This update introduces an option to control automatic prominence of video tiles on Group FaceTime calls and includes bug fixes and other improvements,” says Apple, on its iOS updates page.

Users who are excited to use Bluetooth-dependent contact tracing apps have reason to be happy as this iOS update includes an API update. The update will allow programmers to create apps that can communicate across Android and iOS devices for contact tracing.

The latest update helps users who have been wearing face masks due to the pandemic by allowing Face ID to recognize them with a mask on.

“iOS 13.5 speeds up access to the passcode field on devices with Face ID when you are wearing a face mask,” says the page, “and introduces the Exposure Notification API to support COVID-19 contact-tracing apps from public health authorities.”

It is notable to point out that Apple’s security updates page doesn’t list iOS 13.5 as patching any security vulnerabilities.
