Step 1: Update iOS 14.5 on phone and WatchOS 7.4

To use iPhone unlocking while wearing a mask, you'll need to bring your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest update. Currently both updates have been released by Apple and are available for download. The phone and Apple Watch then need to be connected together.

Step 2: Install on iPhone

After installing the latest update on both devices, go ahead and follow these steps:

Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then choose Face ID & Passcode, and enter your PIN when prompted.

Scroll down until you find the section titled Unlock with Apple Watch. The name of your Apple Watch will be listed below.

- At the on / off button, you will switch to the 'On' position. So you have finished activating the iPhone unlock feature when wearing a new mask.

Step 3: Use the iPhone unlock feature while wearing a mask

After turning on the new iPhone unlocking tape, now you just need to bring up your iPhone to unlock with regular FaceID without removing the mask. You should then see the Apple Watch vibrate slightly, indicating that the watch was used to unlock the phone.

On the screen of the Apple Watch there is also a button to lock the iPhone in case you are not the one unlocking your phone.
