To activate iPhone unlock using Apple Watch, run on the paired phone Settings -> Face ID and code where in the section Unlock using Apple Watch you activate the corresponding function.

Apple Watch includes – just like for example Mac, iPhone or iPad – a Dock from which you can launch applications easily and quickly. Unlike the mentioned devices, however, it is Dock on Apple Watch hidden in a way. Just press to display it side button – you will see the applications in the order in which they were last launched.
Quieting by laying on the hand
Apple Watch can also serve as an "extension" of our iPhone, thanks to which we will not miss any notification or call. But there are situations when you don't want to be disturbed, you don't want to reject an incoming call, but you don't have silent mode activated. In such situations, you can use the hands silence function. First, launch the app on your iPhone Watch, where you tap on Sounds and haptics. Drive all the way down and activate the function Silence by covering – during an incoming call, all you have to do is gently cover the Apple Watch display with your hand.

You can activate the Siri voice assistant on your Apple Watch by long pressing the digital watch crown.

You can activate this feature on your watch by tapping on Settings -> Siri, and you activate the function Raising the wrist.

You can then delete the notification by moving its panel to the left and tapping on the cross, you can preview the notification by tapping.
