Soon youll be able to unlock your iPhone with a mask on — if youre wearing an Apple Watch
Summary
The feature launched in beta on Monday in new test software for the Apple Watch and iPhone, and should be available this spring. Currently, Apple users either need to enter a passcode or slide their mask down to unlock iPhones with FaceID. Now, if youre wearing an Apple Watch, Face ID will work the same as it does when you dont have a mask on. Thats similar to how the feature works on a Mac, which you can already unlock automatically if you wear your Apple Watch nearby. Apple typically tests features in beta for several weeks or a couple of months before theyre rolled out to everyone, so expect it sometime around the spring.
