I’m aware that when we use the iPhone to unlock the Apple Watch, there will be a ‘Unlocking’ followed by ‘Unlocked’ notification drop down bar below the notch area.

I just noticed that I’ve stopped getting these alerts when unlocking my watch through my iPhone. In fact, the unlocking process is much faster. The moment I wake my iPhone up and it unlocking itself using FaceID, the watch unlocks instantaneously.

Has anyone experienced this?

My iPhone X (16.5) stopped showing the drop down notification too. I've also noticed the watch (9.5.2) unlocks faster...
