iOS 14.7.1 fixes a bug that could prevent Touch ID (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/touch-id/) iPhones from unlocking an Apple Watch, an iOS 14.7 issue that Apple said it would fix (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/20/ios-14-7-bug-iphone-unlock-apple-watch/) in an upcoming software update.

iOS 14.7.1 fixes an issue where iPhone models with Touch ID cannot unlock a paired Apple Watch using the Unlock with iPhone feature. This update also provides important security updates and is recommended for all users.

Apple says the update also includes security updates, and recommends that all users install the iOS and iPadOS 14.7.1 updates.
