About Smart Lock
The Smart Lock feature makes it easy for you to unlock your device. You can set up your device to remain unlocked in the
following situations:
•
When your device is connected to a trusted Bluetooth enabled device or NFC-enabled device
•
When your device is in a familiar location, such as your home or workplace
•
When your device recognises your face or voice
•
When you carry your device in your hand, pocket, or bag
The Smart Lock feature can't detect who is holding your device when the device is unlocked and connected to a trusted
device, in a trusted location, or passed between people while on-body detection is turned on. It might also be possible for
someone who looks like you to unlock your device when you turn on the trusted face option.
If you use your device for work, depending on the rules set by your administrator, the Smart Lock feature might not be
available.
Set up Smart Lock to unlock your device

to turn on or set up other features on your device, such as Bluetooth technology, NFC, Google Maps™, "Ok Google™" voice
detection, a trust agent, or a wireless network connection.
