As part of the December Feature Drop, Google is rolling out a new feature that lets you quickly and automatically unlock your phone if your Pixel Watch is nearby and unlocked too.
The option showed up for me today. I quickly jumped on board and decided to test it out because, even though my Pixel 8 Pro already supports face unlock and fingerprint unlock, there are still those rare instances when both methods are inconvenient to use. Say when my face is covered with a large winter scarf, my hands are wet or dirty, or it’s too dark for face unlock to work properly.
