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.

Unlock the screen using the preset screen lock method.

Select an option and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setting.

Face recognition

You can set the device to unlock the screen by recognising your face.

Your device could be unlocked by someone or something that looks like your image.

Face recognition is less secure than Pattern, PIN, or Password.

Consider the following when using face recognition:

–Consider the conditions when registering, such as wearing glasses, hats, masks, beards, or heavy makeup

–Ensure that you are in a well-lit area and that the camera lens is clean when registering

–Ensure your image is not blurry for better match results

If you use your face as a screen lock method, your face cannot be used to unlock the screen when turning on the device. To use the device, you must unlock the screen using a pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the face. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password.
