      Dude this is just a solution now that everyone needs to use FACE MASKS so it's just for Face ID. There's no solution for Touch ID, but what's the point, if you can't unlock it with gloves you probably can't use it either because of the gloves and the touch screen, right?

    Too bad my face id is broken because apple said it’s water resistance and I tried it for 5 mins on and off the water.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ . Giving false advertisement. And I quote “ iphone is not water proof. But only water resistant “

    • @Romy---
      @Romy--- Před 2 lety +1

      *WATER RESISTANT* meaning: "Able to resist the penetration of water to some degree but not entirely." This is EXACTLY what it means. And it's officially stated that iPhones are just water resistant, NOT waterproof. And you're even saying it yourself.
      Apple states CLEARLY that you're NOT supposed to do that. It's just resistant for accidents, if it drops accidentally and you quickly take it out, for splashes etc. Not for idi0ts who just dunk their phones for fun without getting properly informed and yet they facepalm the manufacturer.🤦🏼‍♀️ It's your own fault and only yours if you screwed your phone voluntarily.
      Read APPLE's support page with the title *"About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later".*
      So how the heck did you understand that you could just dunk it underwater and for 5 minutes?? It's more than clear that you're NOT supposed to do that. "Too bad" you're the dmb one here, you probably didn't even read anything about it before trying that and now you're complaining. Deserved honestly.

    My question is, when I put on my apple watch and then I unlock my phone it’s supposed to say apple watch unlocked. for whatever reason for the past month, I have had to type in the password on my watch, it’s quite annoying. Any recommendations?

      Hey there! We highly recommend backing up the companion iPhone you use with your Apple Watch, then ensuring it is updated to 14.7.1, which released a fix for this particular issue. You can find steps on updating here: s.apple.com/dE4w1r7M9c

    I have the Apple Watch series 6
    I can’t play music on it
    It just says to connect to Bluetooth device
    But it has speakers as I listen to call on it and even Siri replies

      Hi there. We’d love to help with this.
      First, let’s ensure that the specific system requirements are met. You will need an iPhone with Face ID and has iOS 14.5 or later. Your Apple Watch will also need to be a Series 3 or later with watchOS 7.4 or later.
      Once you’ve confirmed that your device supports this feature, please follow the steps here to unlock your device with your Apple Watch: s.apple.com/dm4z4r7q3X
      If this still doesn’t work for you, reach out to us here: apple.co/GetSupport

    Only if this feature was launched a little sooner it would’ve saved me $200 in fines that my condo management charged me for “removing mask while on property”

    This never works.. I hold my finger on the camera to test it and it works when it wants. They need to make it a button press or something. Maybe a tripl click
