To avoid repeatedly unlocking your phone when you are at familiar and trusted locations (like home or work), use a Smart Lock. You can still manually lock the phone at trusted places when needed.

   • Set a screen lock on the phone.
   • Turned on location services.
   • Entered your Home and Work locations in Maps if desired. To learn how, read Google's help.
2. Go to Settings.

3. Touch Security & location > Smart Lock.

   If you don't see Smart Lock, try the following:

   • Update Google Play services. In the Google Search widget on your home screen, search for “Google Play services”, then touch the app to open it.
   • Go to Settings > Security & location > Advanced > Trust agents and enable Smart Lock.
4. Unlock your phone, then touch Trusted places.

5. Set up your places:

   • If you added Home or Work locations in Maps, touch the location name and turn it on if desired.
