Set up your device for automatic unlock

You can make unlocking your phone easier with Smart Lock for Android. First, change your settings to enable Smart Lock on your device. Then set how you want your device to automatically unlock.

Note: Some of this information may not apply to all devices because Android isn't exactly the same on every device. This page was written for devices with Android 5.0 and up. See what version of Android you have.

First, open the Smart Lock menu

1. On your device, open the Settings app .
2. Scroll down to "Personal" and tap Security. 
3. Scroll down to "Advanced" and tap Trust agents. Make sure "Smart Lock" is switched on.
4. Scroll up to "Device security" and tap Smart Lock.
5. Enter your screen lock. If you don't already have one set up, follow the on-screen prompts to set up a password, PIN, or pattern. You need to enter this screen lock any time you want to change your Smart Lock settings.

Next, set how your device will automatically unlock

You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked when:

• You have a trusted Bluetooth device connected

• Your device recognizes your face
• You're carrying your device with you

You'll need to manually unlock your phone when you don't use it for 4 hours and after you reboot it.
