At first, it looked like the iOS 14.5 public beta arrived without watchOS 7.4 this afternoon. However, the latest watchOS beta version is now available, only slightly hidden, as it only appears after the first update to iOS 14.5. watchOS 7.4 brings the handy Apple Watch Unlock feature to iPhone when wearing a mask.
watchOS 7.4 public beta 1 arrives after the developer beta was sown last Monday. Funny, although we didn’t see it available with iOS 14.5 public beta 1 today, it only appeared after the update was installed on the iPhone.
watchOS 7.4 brings the new Apple Watch Unlock feature for iPhone, which works when Face ID realizes that you are wearing a face mask, which allows you to ignore the use of your password.
Be sure to update your iPhone to the iOS 14.5 public beta first, then you should see the watchOS public beta for 7.4 appear on the iPhone in the Watch app> General> Software update.
