Exposure Notification
Exposure notification is an interface developed by Apple in collaboration with Google to facilitate digital contact tracing. This API would go a long way in detecting illness and medical conditions. Whenever you contact someone, the API would shoot out a beacon by using your phone’s Bluetooth to get the updated list of people with a certain medical condition.
Impressive Face ID feature
What used to happen if you wore a facemask and tried to unlock your phone? Failed twice, and then the passcode option came up. That sounds inconvenient! Apple has solved it for you. With the new iOS 13.5, the Face ID features become even better. It now incorporates lifestyle features that detect if a user is wearing a facemask. In such an event, the new Face ID would directly bring out the passcode option.
The same process would be followed for Apply Pay or any transaction that needs authentication. The moment it detects you are wearing a facemask; it automatically pops up the passcode option. This improvement would be beneficial for those who use masks as part of their daily activities, like medical workers and caregivers.
FaceTime comes with a tweak

Whenever you spoke, your tile used to get bigger and become more prominent. It happened automatically each time you spoke. Annoying, isn’t it? Now with iOS 13.5, Apple has disabled that feature. FaceTime would not automatically enlarge the tile of the person speaking. But you still can toggle the options in the settings.
