The new unlock functionality of the iPhone with the Apple Watch works just like the Mac: if you have the “Unlock with Apple Watch” feature Settings Under Face ID and code Enabled on the iPhone, the device recognizes that you are wearing a mask and only need to raise the clock to open your iPhone with Face ID.
