Unlocking iphone with apple watch

Hello guys,


So Apple introduced unlocking with mask feature that works when you have your apple watch with you.

But there is this issue now, anyone can unlock your phone if they are wearing a mask and you’re sitting close.


So I purchased apple watch just for this sole reason to be able to unlock my phone while wearing mask but now 🤷🏻‍♂️.


so whats the solution?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

And if they try that, your watch notifies you that the phone was unlocked. All you have to do is tap the button on the screen to lock your phone. It will require a passcode to unlock it the next time.
