In November 2017, Apple introduced its facial recognition system Face ID alongside the launch of the iPhone X, providing users with a simpler way to unlock their smartphones compared to the traditional Touch ID.
However, with the widespread use of face masks today, Apple's biometric feature has been limited, leading many users to enter passcodes or remove masks to unlock their devices in public areas. Fortunately, Apple has adapted to this lifestyle change by introducing a new feature that allows iPhone users to use Apple Watch to unlock their smartphones while wearing masks.
Unlocking iPhone with Apple Watch does not replace Face ID; it serves as an additional authentication method if the sensors cannot fully read your face, such as when wearing a face mask. During the unlocking process, users will feel a slight vibration and receive a notification on their Apple Watch confirming a successful unlocking process.
To initiate using this feature, first, you need to download the Developer Beta or the Public Beta of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4. Additionally, your Apple Watch must be unlocked and worn on your wrist, as well as near your iPhone. If these conditions are not met, the iPhone will display the passcode screen as usual. Finally, you need to activate the feature in Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Unlock with Apple Watch.
Furthermore, if you wish to utilize Face ID to unlock while wearing a mask without relying on Apple Watch, you can refer to the detailed guide below and follow the steps.

Please note that this feature is solely for unlocking the iPhone. For transactions such as purchasing items or any other activity requiring Face ID authentication, you will still need to expose your entire face or enter a passcode. Additionally, remember that this is a Beta version, so you may encounter various errors, including those unrelated to this feature.
