Huawei Mate 50 series has been continuously receiving new features with new software updates. Recently, Huawei has added face mask support for the Mate 50 Pro via a new firmware rollout.

HarmonyOS 3.0.0.150 software version has been rolling out for the Mate 50 Pro users that brings face mask recognition support.

According to the description of this feature, face recognition works accurately when the face is not covered by anything.
