To keep your phone secure, use a screen lock when it goes to sleep:
- Choose a pattern, PIN or password to unlock. Add a Smart Lock to unlock automatically when connected to a trusted device, when you're at a trusted place (like home or work), using voice recognition or until you set your phone down.
- You can access notifications and quick settings, start a call and launch the camera from the lock screen.
- You can make emergency calls on a locked phone. A locked phone still rings; you don't need to unlock it to answer.
- If you forgot your pattern, PIN or password, follow these steps.
You can customise the lock screen by adding your contact info. You can also control which notifications appear on your lock screen.
