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?
