Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch
Since the pandemic arrived, the use of the mask has become widespread throughout the planet to avoid contagion between people. This was a serious blow to the security system that Apple uses in many of its iPhone, Face ID. Since the device cannot recognize our face well, it prevents us from unlocking it in the most comfortable way that exists, which is by scanning our face, forcing us to enter the unlock code.
We have made several articles explaining effective ways to unlock iPhone with a mask.The method that we have linked to you at the beginning of the post is the most conventional and usually works, although it often fails. We also teach you how to unlock the iPhone with your voice, a "trick" is something more elaborate and works quite well.
But both "solutions" are not effective, interactive and enjoyable enough to use and for this reason Apple has just launched in Beta iOS 14.5 the way to unlock it using your watch smart.
