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.
To prepare your device to unlock automatically, you first need to perform the
following steps in the order given:
•
Make sure you have an active Internet connection, preferably a Wi-Fi® connection to
limit data traffic charges.
•
Make sure that all your apps are updated using the Play Store™ application in order
to ensure that the Google Play™ services app is updated. Having an up-to-date
Google Play™ services app ensures that you can use the latest Smart Lock features.
•
Enable Smart Lock.
