Since upgrading to iOS 14.7 and WatchOS 7.6, the functionality of unlocking your watch with your phone has changed a bit and gotten slower. Before, when I put on my watch, all I had to do was glance at my phone to do a FaceID unlock, and the watch would unlock pretty much instantly. Since the update, a FaceID unlock alone will no longer do it - now, you have to actually swipe up to go to the home screen, and a little notification will pop up at the top of the screen saying "Watch unlocking". And even then, you have to wait 5 seconds til it finally says "Watch unlocked", and if you lock the phone screen before those 5 seconds are up, the watch will stay locked.
Anyone else seeing this? Kind of annoying.
