In this tutorial we will show you how to make Apple Watch unlock with iPhone so you do not need to enter Apple Watch passcode again and again.
It is highly recommended that you use a passcode with your Apple Watch to ensure no one is able to get into your Watch while you are not wearing it. When the passcode feature is enabled, the Watch automatically locks and requires a passcode to unlock as soon as the user removes it from the wrist.
As safe as it may be, it is never convenient having to type your passcode every time you put on your Apple Watch. Thankfully watchOS offers a neat little option that when enabled quickly unlocks the Apple Watch automatically as soon as user unlocks his or her iPhone for the first time after wearing it.
With the Unlock with iPhone feature users are able to unlock their Apple Watch with iPhone without entering Apple Watch passcode.
How this works is pretty simple, when you put your Apple Watch on your wrist in locked state, it stays locked. However as soon as you unlock your iPhone the watchOS detects that it is indeed you who is wearing it and unlocks your Watch for you, without requiring you to enter the passcode manually.
