[Snoweagle]

Search suggestions also lag. Opening apps seems to be slower now than 14.5

Many other folks also complain as well.

But mine doesn't feel laggy, guess only a handful of users.

Got this from Apple forum which U can try. Else if still cannot, best way is to reset your watch and pair it from the begining.

Spoiler: Instructions

You may have configured your Apple Watch to use Wrist Detection and Unlock with iPhone. To unlock your watch, you need to wear it and then unlock your iPhone, which then also unlocks your watch. This can be configured differently.



First, check that your iPhone software is fully up to date: Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support



Then, on your iPhone, in the Apple Watch app, go to:

• My Watch > General > Wrist Detection - check this is on (also try toggling it off, pausing for a minute and then toggling it back on again).
• My Watch > Passcode > Turn Passcode On, then set either a simply (4-digit) or longer passcode.
• My Watch > Passcode > Unlock with iPhone - also enable this (if it is not already).

Having made the changes, it may help to restart (or, if that doesn't help, force restart) both your iPhone and your Apple Watch.



- Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; Drag the slider to turn your iPhone off; When it has finished turning off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

- Force restart iPhone: press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.



- Restart Apple Watch: Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; Drag the slider to turn off completely; Afterwards, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

- Force restart Apple Watch: press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.



After putting it on your wrist, your watch should now unlock after whatever you do first: either unlock your watch with the passcode or unlock your iPhone.



Using a Passcode can also avoid other potential problems, such as:



- If you are without your iPhone, your watch may become locked after temporarily losing contact with your wrist.

- If your iPhone gets misplaced or stolen.



Enabling Wrist Detection and a Passcode is also required if you want to use Apple Pay on your watch.

I updated my daughter iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 14.5.1 it literally caused the phone to became laggy! Lagging in opening apps, multitasking and in general usage! Now upon restarting the phone it started the lagging then when it settled down after a few mins then it will back to normal. Any 1??

Indexing. It should be ok after a while.

You do not need to be connected to a WiFi network for it to work.
You just have to turn on your phone’s WiFi function.

Battery drain on usage and standby is bad on my 11PM.

So far, the trick is, u have to scan your face normally with mask on, it will work. For me, after the latest updates, yet to encounter failure to unlock. The front camera must see your face with mask on. Maybe u try to ensure the phone camera is facing u and not on the table facing the ceiling. Or maybe redo your face scan on the phone?

let me get the latest update and kiv

Tough luck, it is always better to stay on the base (or +1/2) iOS versions. Old devices will almost always be on the losing end for new iOS releases.

Apple released iOS 14.6 beta 3, stating that would fixes an issues where iPhone may experience reduce performance when start up.

But I've no issues on my 11 Pro Max, I'd say it's safe to update.

Oh shoot. I spoke too soon. Banking app issue still present. Loss of internet connectivity for in app browsing once tio

I realised the unlock with Apple watch seems quite a hit and miss. At times I need to unlock using passcode on my phone more than once sometimes twice or thrice for it to work afterwards. Sigh
