Hey, have you bought the new Apple Watch? So do you know how to unlock your iPhone with Apple Watch? At the same time, your iPhone can also automatically unlock your Apple Watch, how amazing it is!

In this article, you can learn these Apple Watch black technologies to help make your life more convenient. Once you learn how to do it, you can show it off to your friends! Come and take a look!

Part 1. About Apple Watch

To protect your private data, Apple requires you to enter a PIN when initially setting up your Apple Watch. The watch then asks you to enter your PIN on the small numeric keypad to unlock it after it senses you’ve removed it from your wrist.

This has many benefits. For example, if your watch is taken away, your information is safe. And setting a PIN on the watch is the only way to use Apple Pay.

However, due to the limited screen size of the Apple Watch itself, it is easy for you to click the wrong PIN when entering the PIN code, causing you to always be forced to enter it again.

After setting up iPhone or Apple Watch, it will be very simple to automatically unlock Apple Watch or unlock iPhone on Apple Watch. Let’s study together.

Part 2. Unlock Apple Watch From iPhone Automatically

Now you can automatically unlock your Apple Watch when you unlock your iPhone, eliminating the need to carefully touch the digital dial on your Apple Watch to unlock it.

Choose one of the two setting methods below, and you can use password/Touch ID/Face ID to unlock your iPhone and automatically unlock your Apple Watch at the same time.

Option 1. Setting On the iPhone

Step 1. Launch the Apple Watch app.

Step 2. Find and click password.

Step 3. Slide “Unlock with iPhone” to the “On” position.

Sometimes you may have to wear sunglasses or a mask that covers your face and makes it impossible to unlock the iPhone.
