Unlocking your device automatically

The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you set it to

unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device unlocked, for

example, when it’s connected to a Bluetooth® device or when you’re carrying it with

you.
To prepare your device to unlock automatically, you first need to perform the

following steps in the order given:

Make sure you have an active Internet connection, preferably a Wi-Fi connection to

limit data traffic charges.

Make sure that all your apps are updated using the Play Store™ application in order

to ensure that the Google Play™ services app is updated. Having an up-to-date

Google Play™ services app ensures that you can use the latest Smart Lock features.

Connecting to trusted Bluetooth® devices

You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a trusted device and keep your

Xperia™ device unlocked while it’s connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth®

devices that you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home

entertainment system, a Bluetooth® watch or a fitness tracker, you can add them as
