What is Smart Lock?
We are going to use the Android built-in feature called Smartlock which unlocks your phone using certain conditions. You can set the conditions yourself and the smart lock will do its job of unlocking your phone when the conditions are met. The lock screen will get disabled when the conditions are met so you don’t have to use fingerprint or PIN to unlock your phone.
Trusted Places
To enable the Smart Lock feature using the trusted feature, you only have to add your phone area on the map and the phone will stay unlocked while in that area. The phone will automatically lock when the phone will escape that area. To enable that, go to Settings > Security & Lock Screen > Smart Lock > Trusted Places. Here you have to add a location using the map, you can add multiples locations as well. Once you add the location, your phone will stay unlocked inside these locations. The only issue with this method is that you need to keep the location feature enabled on your phone for this feature to work. So, if you don’t want that, then you can use the next method below which uses your home wifi to unlock your phone.
