When we are on the street our mobile phone must have all the security and blocking systems to prevent third parties from accessing our information. However, when we get home, our safe place, we can remove this option. To do this you must configure your device and your mobile will be completely free at home. Let's see how it works and how it benefits us.
How to leave my phone unlocked alone at home
The mobile phone is a device that contains a lot of valuable and personal information of the users. When we are on the street it must be completely blocked and every time we want to use it, we must unlock it. Whether with a password, a pattern or biometric system, so only we can use it.
However When we get home, our safe place, we can make these levels of security diminish a little. That is, when reviewing it we do not have to place any type of credential or access system.
This applies only and exclusively if your home is truly a safe place.. For example, if you have a partner and when you get home the phone is unlocked, this person can access your information. If there is no true trust, we recommend not configuring the mobile, otherwise yes and these are the steps to follow:
- Enter the settings of your Android mobile.
- Enter the “security” section.
- Select the “Smart Lock” option.
- Press “personal detection”.
If you do not have Smart Lock on Android due to updates and new versions of the operating system, this option is located in the following path:
- Enter the settings of your Android mobile.
- Presiona in "password and security«.
- Go into "wide unlock«.
- Choose "trusted places«.
- Add a trusted place by selecting the address on the Google Maps map that will be shown to you.
Now You just have to choose the place where you should unlock the mobile, in this case it would be your home. You can choose the address of the home in question and configure it this way. Click on "add trusted site" and select the destination where the mobile will be unlocked.
Once the place is chosen, every time you get to that place the mobile will not ask you to unlock it. You must keep in mind that enabling this function implies that the mobile phone must have the GPS button on.
This way it will know the exact location of where you are and depending on that it locks and unlocks the device. The battery may last less, but it is part of the convenience of unlocking your phone at home. What do you think of this functionality and tell us if you knew about it?
