I have a series 8 watch on watch os 11 and iPhone 14pro on ios 18. Since before the new updates (11 and 18), toggling Unlock Watch with iPhone does not enable. There is no eror message. I thought te large software updates might solve this isue, but to no avail Any suggestions?

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11
That does not do it. The problem is that the "Unlock with iPhone" does not stay enabled after opening.

I have a new Apple Watch series 10 running Watch OS 11 and my iPhone 14 Pro still does not unlock my watch automatically. The setting is turned on in the Watch app on my iPhone. I contacted Apple today and was walked through a hard rest and a re- pairing, neither of which got this feature working. I have to unlock the watch manually. The advisor told me this is a known issue and is being addressed by Apple engineering. Let’s see….
You have to unlock your iPhone for your Apple Watch to be unlocked automatically.
That’s odd. I have no issues with iOS 18 and watchOS 11. Try to force restart both devices.
Same for me. Did you fix this?
Same watch & iphone combo here and struggling with the exact same problem.
I have tried to boot both devices and changed the watch passcode to four digits. Issue persists still.
Why is unlock Apple Watch with iPhone not working?
