Basics
Changing the screen lock method
To change the screen lock method, launch the Settings app, tap Lock screen → Screen lock
type, and then select a method.
When you set a pattern, PIN, password, or your biometric data for the screen lock method,
you can protect your personal information by preventing others from accessing your device.
After setting the screen lock method, the device will require an unlock code whenever
unlocking it.
• Swipe: Swipe in any direction on the screen to unlock it.
• Pattern: Draw a pattern with four or more dots to unlock the screen.
• PIN: Enter a PIN with at least four numbers to unlock the screen.
• Password: Enter a password with at least four characters, numbers, or symbols to unlock
the screen.
• None: Do not set a screen lock method.
• Face: Register your face to unlock the screen. Refer to
information.
• Fingerprints: Register your fingerprints to unlock the screen. Refer to
recognition
for more information.
You can set your device to perform a factory data reset if the unlock code is entered
incorrectly several times in a row and the attempt limit is reached. Launch the
Settings app, tap Lock screen → Secure lock settings, unlock the screen using the
preset screen lock method, and then tap the Auto factory reset switch to activate it.
Screen capture
Capture a screenshot while using the device and write on, draw on, crop, or share the
captured screen. You can capture the current screen and scrollable area.
Press the Volume Down key and the Side key simultaneously. Captured screenshots will be
saved in Gallery.
