Unlock by watch works better than facial recognition. Can I just set this phone to always unlock if I’m wearing my watch? When I’m not wearing a mask, it keeps failing. But if I have a mask on it works great thanks to watch.

Anyone lose their ability to unlock their iPhone while wearing a mask? In settings, on my iPhone, I no longer have a setting to Unlock with Apple Watch. It’s not there. My watch and phone are paired.
