Smart Lock

You can set the device to unlock itself and remain unlocked when trusted locations or devices are detected.

For example, if you have set your home as a trusted location, when you get home your device will detect the location and automatically unlock itself.

This feature will be available to use after you set a screen lock method.

If you do not use your device for four hours or when you turn on the device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set.
