Since the Corona disaster, the iPhone can no longer be unlocked with Face ID. This is because face recognition cannot be performed if you are wearing a mask. Security is unavoidable, but entering an alternative passcode is very cumbersome. But with an Apple Watch, it’s okay. Just look at the screen and it will be unlocked, just like without a mask.
○ How to unlock iPhone with Apple Watch
To unlock your iPhone on your Apple Watch
1) A passcode is set on your Apple Watch
2) Apple Watch is worn on the wrist
3) Apple Watch is unlocked
Three conditions are required.
That said, for anyone using an Apple Watch, this is “normal”, so basically it’s fine as usual. If you look at the iPhone screen with the mask on, the lock will be unlocked automatically. The Apple Watch will be notified by the screen and vibration that it has been unlocked.
If you haven’t set your Apple Watch passcode, follow the steps below to set it.
