    • Google is working to send fewer notifications when your Pixel device is unlocked by your smartwatch.
    • Watch Unlock notifications will soon appear based on the distance between your phone and the paired watch to reduce interruptions.

    Google introduced the Watch Unlock feature for Pixel Watches last year. This convenient security feature allows users to unlock their Pixel devices simply by wearing a paired smartwatch. However, those who have used Watch Unlock will attest to the fact that they are tired of the “Unlocked by your watch” notification that appears every time a Pixel phone is unlocked using this feature. Well, it looks like Google will soon fix the problem and remove those annoying notifications.
