It’s so you can unlock phone and use it etc. when wearing a mask.

Obv for making payments, yes, just use the watch anyway.
Maybe I’m being thick here. Are you saying that if I’m wearing my Apple watch my iPhone will unlock automatically even if I’m wearing a mask?
Yes, you have to look at it, so combination of seeing your eyes and having watch on will unlock it.
Just tried that. It doesn’t work me Mrs BC or I. frown

You need to enable in the FaceID settings. And have latest iOS/WatchOS.

Must admit, FaceId on its own, or with a mask/watch is brilliant.

A little off topic, however I've managed to damage the screen on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I've never smashed a screen before and don't have insurance / apple car. I've noticed that EE (where I bought the phone from, but also local) offer a next day repair service.

Am I best off getting it repaired with EE, or can anyone else recommend a repair service? Thanks.

Have you checked the price on the apple website?

That’s where I would be sending mine if that happened.

Edit: £320 for apple to do it.

I had read that Apple were hardware coding screens, camera lenses and all sorts - making repair very difficult. I guess EE could repair as they are big vendors and are authorised - the guys who used to do it on the Tottenham Court Road are probably less likely to be able to.

Yeah I checked apple, but it's pricey and a bit of a pain in the arse getting there. I'll give EE a visit and see what they say, if not it looks like a trip to the apple store.

Thanks guys, it works now. There was no notification of an available update on my watch or iPhone but when I looked they were there so updated last night.

I have to agree with you there.

As for Apple Pay on the Watch yes that's fine too - I have the same.

But the situations that would have been caught without the Watch unlocking feature - wandering around Costco, constantly wanting to pull 'phone out for camera, make a note, look up a price (I hardly knew how useful the 'phone is!) and trying to get into an app at, say, Caffe Nero.... all now seamless - of course only a matter of weeks away from masks being a thing of the past rofl ...but still! thumbup

Not wanting to start a new thread, is there a way of recording telephone calls.
On the odd occasion a customer calls me with an order it would be handy to hit record
and not pretend I have a pen while desperately looking for one?

None that I've ever found. Loud speaker and type into Notes is the best way for me

You can do it with an app called Rev Recorder but you shouldnt unless you make the caller aware they are being recorded

This unlocking your phone with a mask on if you’re wearing your watch is a revelation!

I just took a look at that app, looks like it doesn’t record calls.
