- A new report has shed more light on how the upcoming Watch Unlock feature will work.
- This Wear OS feature will allow you to unlock your phone with your smartwatch.
- You’ll need to hold your watch less than four inches away from your phone to unlock it.
Google confirmed last year that it was working on the ability to have your Wear OS watch unlock your Android phone. The feature still isn’t widely available just yet, but we’ve now got a better idea of how it all works.
9to5Google managed to enable the Watch Unlock feature, confirming that your wearable “must be unlocked, on your wrist, and within reach of this phone” for it to work.
