Unlocking your device automatically

The Smart Lock feature may not be available in every market, country or region.
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:
•
Trusted face: Unlock your device by looking at it.
•
Trusted voice: Set up voice recognition to search in any screen.
• Trusted devices: Keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® or NFC
device is connected.
• Trusted places: Keep your device unlocked when you're in a trusted location.
• On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying your device with
you.
You have to manually unlock your device when you don't use it for 4 hours and after
you restart it.
The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and the exact functionality may change over
time due to updates from Google™.
