How to set up Unlock iPhone With Apple Watch
How to unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch
Once you have enabled the ‘unlock with Apple Watch’ option, look at your iPhone like you usually do to use Face ID. As soon as Face ID detects your mask, you will receive haptic feedback on your Apple Watch confirming the paired iPhone has been unlocked. The first time you do this, iPhone will ask you to enter the passcode. After that, it won’t. However, you will have to enter the iPhone passcode manually once every time you take the watch off your wrist or wear it for the first time in the day. Note: This feature is only for unlocking your iPhone. To authenticate Apple Pay payments and App Store purchases or downloads, you will have to enter the password manually or use Face ID after removing the mask. I hope this quick guide helped you. If you own a Mac, you can use your Apple Watch to unlock it seamlessly. This feature has been around for a long. Have additional questions? Put them in the comments below. Read More:
