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.
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:

On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying it with you.

Trusted places: Keep your device unlocked when you're in a familiar, secure location,

such as your home.

Trusted devices: Keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® or NFC device

is connected.

Trusted face: Unlock your device by looking at it.

Trusted voice: Set up voice recognition to search in any screen.

The Smart Lock feature may not be available in every market, country, or region.

With Smart Lock enabled you still need to unlock your device manually after restarting, and

after leaving the device inactive for 4 hours.

The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and the exact functionality may change over

time due to updates from Google™.
