Many users of the recently released iPhone 13 are facing an issue preventing them from unlocking their phones using their Apple Watch. After several users reported this problem, Apple promised to fix the glitch in an upcoming software update. In a statement, Apple said, "You can disable the feature in settings and rely on passcodes until the issue is resolved." However, the company did not provide a timeline for the fix.
Typically, the glitch informs users that their iPhone is unable to connect to the Apple Watch, posing a significant problem if they are wearing a mask and cannot use the facial recognition feature to log in.
Users may not have to wait long for a resolution, as although Apple recently released a beta version of the new iOS 15.1, the company has a long history of providing small but quick updates that fix glaring bugs and security vulnerabilities.
While Apple did not want to encounter such issues at the launch of the iPhone 13 series, it is unlikely that the problem will persist for long, according to Engadget.
