How to Use Your Apple Watch to Lock Your iPhone Now, let’s test our new automation. You can test it right from your iPhone by opening your Control Center and turning your Focus mode on. Here’s how to activate it on your Apple Watch: 1. Press your Apple Watch’s side button to open your Control Center. 2. Tap the Focus button. It has the icon of a moon. 3. Select the “Lock Screen” Focus mode you just created. 4. Choose On. Give your iPhone a moment. You should see a message at the top of your screen saying that your Focus mode is turned on. After one more second, your iPhone should automatically lock itself up. If it didn’t work, go back to the previous steps and make sure you did everything correctly. More specifically, make sure you set the shortcut and automation properly. Control Your iPhone With Your Apple Watch And that’s it! You’re now able to lock your iPhone with your Apple Watch, even if you aren’t in the same room. Sure, it might take a few steps to get this right, but once you set it up, you won’t have to worry about it ever again.
