Unlocking your device automatically
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. With Smart Lock enabled you still need to unlock your device manually after
restarting, and after leaving the device inactive for 4 hours.
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:
ವ
2QERG\GHWHFWLRQ
: Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying it with you.
ವ
7UXVWHGSODFHV
: Keep your device unlocked when you're in a familiar, secure location
such as your home.
ವ
7UXVWHGGHYLFHV
: Keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® or NFC
device is connected.
ವ
7UXVWHGIDFH
: Unlock your device by looking at it.
ವ
7UXVWHGYRLFH
: Set up voice recognition to search in any screen.
The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and its exact functionality may change over
time due to updates from Google™. Furthermore the feature may not be available in every
market, country or region.

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.
When you use the On-body detection feature, you need to be aware of the following
behaviours:
ವ
Any time you put your device down and it senses that it's no longer being carried, it
locks automatically.
ವ
The device can take up to one minute to lock.
ವ
After you get into a car, bus, train or other land vehicle, your device can take between
5 and 10 minutes to lock.
ವ
Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or another non-land based vehicle),
your device may not lock automatically, so make sure to lock it manually if needed.
