Unlocking the Duo with your Apple Watch…mini hack.

The pause is deliberate. Judner Aura explains that the iPhone Duo's Touch ID delay leaves time to check notifications before entering the home screen. His latest UrAvgConsumer Short offers a way past that wait, provided there's an Apple Watch nearby.

In "Unlocking the Duo with your Apple Watch…mini hack.", he opens Touch ID & Passcode and enables "Unlock with Nearby Devices" for his watch. Then he demonstrates the quicker unlock. It's a small convenience rather than a dramatic phone makeover, but one that comes into play every time he picks up the device.

The Short drew about 18,000 views in six hours, already well above the channel's usual full first-day audience for Shorts. The comments also quickly became a troubleshooting conversation: several viewers suggest changing a Touch ID setting or swiping before using the fingerprint reader. Another asks whether the watch shortcut also works when entering passwords.

The demonstration follows "I lived with the iPhone Duo - here's what happened", in which Aura used the phone as his main device for a full week. That broader review covers the purchase decision; this follow-up narrows the focus to getting through the lock screen.

Does this work when inputting passwords?

I can’t believe this is the first time seeing this. I knew of this feature and is why I was never concerned about the delay.
