If you signed up for the iOS 14.5 beta[1] to get access to the face unlock feature, which uses your Apple Watch to work even when you're wearing a face mask, things are about to get even better for you. 

Later this week, beta testers will begin to see a new option in Apple Maps that allows them to report accidents, hazards like road debris, or speed checks along their route. 

You'll use Siri to make the report, by using a phrase such as: "Hey Siri, there's a crash ahead" or "there's something in the road." 

The feature will work directly on the phone, or you can use it with CarPlay. 

Apple released the first developer beta a couple of weeks ago[2], and it's shaping up to include many new features. The previously mentioned face unlock workaround for face masks joins a new ad-tracking permission prompt, improved support for more gaming controllers, and AirPlay compatibility for Fitness Plus.
