Because the feature only uses half of a user’s face, it could potentially be less secure, which is why Apple is allowing people to opt-in or out to use it.

Apple had been testing out Face ID options with a mask since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In February 2021, the company released a software update that allowed users to unlock a phone as long as they were connected to an Apple Watch, Tech Crunch reported. For instance, in October 2021, Apple gave users the option toto the Wallet app to easily present whenever proof of inoculation is required.

"Once you add your vaccination card in the Wallet app, you can view and present it at any time," AppleThe front of the card shows the individual’s name, type of COVID-19 vaccine, dates of the doses administered, the issuer, as well as a QR code.

Additionally, vaccination cards cannot be shared with other iPhone, iPod Touch or Apple Watch users, the company said.
