As some users have reported, the new iPhone 13 models have issues with the Unlock feature with Apple Watch, which was introduced with iOS 14.5. Apple is aware of the issue, and iOS 15.1 beta 2 already includes a fix for it.
At this time, Apple recommends that you disable the feature and use a password unlock while waiting for version 15.1. Unfortunately, it is not yet clear when it will graduate from the beta. Especially since the fix requires watchOS 8.1 to run on your watch and it’s currently in beta 1.
iOS 15.1 beta 2 fixes the bug Unlock with Apple Watch on iPhone 13
iOS 15.1 activates SharePlay, which was disabled in iOS 15 beta 6 (also on iPadOS, tvOS and macOS). SharePlay is a way to remotely watch and listen to streaming content with your friends – it syncs playback and also runs a group video call so the group can chat.
The new version of the operating system also includes another important feature for the current situation — it allows you to add your COVID-19 vaccination card to the Apple Wallet app.
