Connecting to Trusted Places
When the Trusted places feature is set up, the lockscreen security on your Xperia™
device gets disabled when you are in a designated trusted location. For this feature to
work, you must have an internet connection (preferably over Wi-Fi) and allow your device
to use your current location.
To set up trusted places, first make sure high-accuracy location mode or battery-saving
location mode is enabled on your device before you add home or custom locations.
The exact dimensions of a trusted location are an estimate and may extend beyond the
physical walls of your home or other areas you have added as trusted locations. This feature
can keep your device unlocked within a radius of up to 80 meters. Also be aware that location
signals can be replicated or manipulated. Someone with access to specialized equipment
could unlock your device.
