Or Unlock Your iPhone With Your Apple Watch
If you want, you can try using your Apple Watch to unlock your iPhone. This is perfect in case you’re wearing a mask, a scarf, or something that’s covering your face that would make it difficult to use Face ID.
To unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch, you need to:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on Face ID & Passcode.
- Enter your passcode.
- Scroll down and under Unlock with Apple Watch, hit the toggle next to your Apple Watch’s name.
- Tap Turn on.
Now, next time you can’t unlock your iPhone with your face, your Apple Watch will do the job for you. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have your Apple Watch on your wrist, and it must be passcode-protected.
