I chatted with support.. I found that the iPhone 13 came with iOS 15 "BETA". Was told I need to update to get that feature.. Well, I found I needed the update and did it. However it was strange.. The update was called IOS15 but it was described as security updates and some app refresh issues?? Well, the feature to unlock the phone with the watch still DID NOT work... Looks like I will be waiting also..
