Setting When to Keep the Device Automatically Unlocked
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:
•

– keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® device is
connected.
•
Trusted places
– keep your device unlocked when you're in a trusted location.
•
On-body detection

with you.
You have to manually unlock your device when you don't use it for 4 hours and after
you restart it.
Connecting to Trusted Bluetooth® Devices
You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a "trusted" device and keep
your Xperia™ device unlocked while it’s connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth®
devices you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home entertainment
system, a Bluetooth® watch, or a fitness tracker, you can add them as trusted
devices and bypass the added security of a lockscreen to save time. This feature is
suitable if you’re normally in a relatively secure place when you use these devices. In
some cases, you may still need to manually unlock your device before a trusted
device can be connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted
devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.
As soon as a trusted Bluetooth® device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen
locks and you need your PIN, pattern, or password to unlock it.
To Add a Trusted Bluetooth® Device

Make sure your device is paired and connected to the Bluetooth® device you
want to add as a trusted device.
