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 if 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™.

Keeping Your Device Unlocked while You’re Carrying It
Using the On-body detection feature, you can keep your device unlocked while you're
carrying it in your hand or in a pocket or bag. The accelerometer in your device keeps
your device unlocked while it senses that it's being carried. The device locks when the
accelerometer detects that the device has been put down.
