Apple pay iPhone xr and apple watch

Hello Rosel1,

We understand that you're having to use your passcode when trying to verify your identity with your Apple Watch, for Apple Pay. This is expected behavior. Please be mindful of the following details:

Unlock with Apple Watch works only for unlocking your iPhone. It doesn't verify your identity for use with Apple Pay, passwords stored in Keychain, or password-protected apps. You can still use these features while wearing a mask, sunglasses, or ski goggles by typing your iPhone passcode or using your Apple Watch for Apple Pay.

Have a wonderful day!

Rosel1,

Glad to hear you were able to get the needed info on that.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers.
