U U nlocking your device automatically
The Smart Lock feature lets you set your device to unlock automatically in certain
situations, for example, when connected to a Bluetooth® device or when carrying it
with you. When Smart Lock is enabled you still need to unlock your device manually
after restarting, and after leaving the device inactive for 4 hours.
Choose from the following Smart Lock settings:
: Keep your device unlocked when carrying it with you.
: Keep your device unlocked when in a familiar, secure location, such
as your home.
: Keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® or NFC
device is connected.
: Unlock your device by looking at it.
: Use voice recognition to unlock your device from the lock screen or
while it's charging, and activate Google™.
The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™, so its functionality may be changed or
updated over time. Furthermore the feature may not be available in every market, country or
region.

Using the On-body detection feature, you can keep your device unlocked while
you're carrying it in your hand or in a pocket or bag. The accelerometer in your device
keeps your device unlocked while it senses that it's being carried. The device locks
when the accelerometer detects that the device has been put down.
When you use the On-body detection feature, you need to be aware of the following
behaviours:
Any time you put your device down and it senses that it's no longer being carried, it
locks automatically.
The device can take up to one minute to lock.
After you get into a car, bus, train or other land vehicle, your device can take between
5 and 10 minutes to lock.
Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or another non-land based vehicle),
your device may not lock automatically, so make sure to lock it manually if needed.
