After 2 weeks, on Wednesday, April 29th, Apple released iOS & iPadOS 13.5 Beta 3. The version number was intentionally changed from iOS 13.4.5 to iPadOS 13.4.5 as a new Xcode beta update (Xcode 11.5) was released alongside iOS 13.5 beta 3 which included a new API for the Exposure Notification Platform. This beta also improved the way you unlock your iPhone during these times where one has to wear a mask. For a Face ID Device, if you’re wearing a mask, your iPhone will detect it and directly take you to the passcode screen upon swiping up. Read more about it here.
A week later, on Wednesday, May 6th, Apple released iOS & iPadOS 13.5 beta 4 which enabled users to opt out of COVID-19 Exposure Notifications along with other bug fixes.
