Hello Spana1990,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you’re unable to set up unlocking your iPhone with Apple Watch. We’d like to help.


We see you’ve already check out Unlock your iPhone with Apple Watch when you're wearing a face mask. Reviewing the “What you need” section, do your devices meet those requirements? If so, try restarting both the Apple Watch and paired iPhone and try the set up again.


Take care.
