Now look at a photo of the iPhone keypad, and then tap out an unlock passcode – in the video, they use 252525.

The idea is that when you run this command, it will automatically tap your passcode for you.

But you need to make sure you’re tapping in the right positions for it to work.

Now save the gesture and command and then return to your Lock Screen.

Make sure you’re on the keypad unlock and then say “Hey Siri, please unlock my phone”.

Then the gesture will run, unlocking your device instantly.

You’ll be able to see the gesture completing live in front of your eyes.

It’s worth noting that doing this could compromise your iPhone security.

Someone might be able to exploit this to unlock your iPhone.

So consider using a complicated phrase, and only ever using it in private.
