of time.

Setting up Smart Lock
Smart Lock keeps your phone unlocked when it's safe with you, such as when your phone is in your
pocket or you're at home. After you set up Smart Lock, you won't need to manually unlock the
phone.
Available Smart Lock options vary depending on the phone model.
1. From the Home screen, tap Settings Security.
2. Tap Smart Lock.
You need to have a screen lock set up before you can use Smart Lock. If you haven't set up a
screen lock, tap Screen lock. This will be your alternate screen lock method.
3. Confirm your screen lock.
4. Choose from the available options and set when you want to keep the phone unlocked. For
instance, when:
§ You're carrying the phone
§ You're in a trusted location such as your home or office
§ The phone is connected to a trusted device such as your Bluetooth watch or car system
