Unlocking Your Device Automatically
The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you
set it to unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device
unlocked, for example, when it’s connected to a Bluetooth® device or when
you’re carrying it with you.
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:
• On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying it with you.
• Trusted places: Keep your device unlocked when you're in a familiar, secure location,
such as your home.
• Trusted devices: Keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® is connected.
• Trusted voice: Set up voice recognition to search in any screen.
The Smart Lock feature may not be available in every market, country, or region.
With Smart Lock enabled you still need to unlock your device manually after
restarting, and Within leaving the device inactive for 4 hours
.
The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and the exact functionality may
change over time due to updates from Google™.
Connecting to Trusted Devices
You can designate a connected device as trusted and keep your Xperia™ device
unlocked while connected. If you have a device that you connect to regularly using
Bluetooth®, for example, a home entertainment system or a fitness tracker, you can
add it as a trusted device and bypass the added security of the 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, such as Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.
As soon as a trusted device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen locks
and you need your PIN, pattern or password to unlock it.
