My Apple Watch Ultra 2 does not work to unlock from iPhone 16 Pro

Hello! My Apple Watch Ultra 2 does not work to unlock from iPhone 16 pro. When I try to enable this function, the watch requires a password, but after entering it, the slider stops glowing green, that is, it goes into an inactive state. What should I do?

Hello Dmitriyhouse, To allow Apple Watch to unlock your iPhone for Siri requests or when an obstruction prevents Face ID from recognizing your face, do the following;

On iPhone, Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.
Scroll down to Unlock With Apple Watch, then turn on the settings for your watch. If you have more than one watch, turn on the setting for each one.
To unlock your iPhone, make sure you're wearing Apple Watch, wake your iPhone, then glance at its screen.
Apple Watch taps your wrist to let you know that your iPhone has been unlocked.
Also note to unlock your iPhone, Apple Watch must have a passcode, be unlocked and on your wrist, and be close to your iPhone.
