Key Highlights
- This potential change prioritizes maximum security over convenience, preventing accidental unlocks if your watch is merely nearby.
- Users will likely need to toggle off Advanced Protection Mode to regain the ability to unlock their Pixel phone via their Pixel Watch.
- The Google Pixel Watch features a Watch Unlock function that allows you to use the smartwatch as a key to unlock your Pixel phone.
- This is very convenient, as it replaces the need for a traditional passcode or biometric identification as long as you’re wearing the watch (and it’s connected to your phone).
- Although the feature is great, there are instances when you don’t want your watch to unlock your phone.
