Unlocking your SmartWatch: How to use it

Your SmartWatch can be put into stand-by mode, just like conventional smartphones. In this mode, the display is locked and can only be unlocked by entering a code or gesture. We'll show you how the whole thing works on an Apple Watch in our article.

Unlocking Apple iWatch with iPhone - it's that easy

Unfortunately, unlocking the smartwatch is quite simple. Moreover, since you often need to operate the watch or change settings, unlocking works very quickly.

1. If you always carry your iPhone with you anyway, it may well be worth using the shared unlock feature.
2. To do this, go to the "Apple Watch" app on your smartphone and switch to the "Code" tab.
3. There you can now select the option "Unlock with iPhone".
4. Every time you now unlock your iPhone, the display of the Apple Watch is also automatically unlocked.

How to change the code

1. Of course, the Apple Watch can also be unlocked by a code.
2. If you want to change it, go to the settings of your Apple Watch and tap on the tab "Code".
3. Dort geht es weiter zu „Code ändern“.
4. Nun folgen Sie lediglich den Anweisungen auf dem Display, um einen neuen Code festzulegen.
5. Alternativ können Sie diesen Vorgang ebenfalls direkt auf dem iPhone durchführen.
