Google could flip Watch Unlock around with a new Pixel feature

Credit: Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google seems to be developing a Phone to Watch Unlock feature for Pixel Watches. The feature would automatically unlock your watch after you unlock your paired Pixel phone, effectively reversing today’s Watch Unlock feature. Our findings suggest it will be exclusive to Pixel devices through Google’s Connected Phone & Watch services app.

Google already lets compatible Pixel Watches help you unlock your phone through its Watch Unlock , but it looks like the company is now building the feature in reverse.
