Trusted devices and face matching
You can set your device to stay unlocked while connected to a
Bluetooth device—like a watch, tness tracker, headset, or car
speaker system. You can also set your device to unlock when it
touches an NFC tag.
You can also have your device unlock when it recognizes your
face. After setting a trusted face, every time you turn on your
device, it will search for your face and unlock if it recognizes you.
Keep in mind that someone who looks similar to you could unlock
your phone.
Note: Face matching doesn’t store any photos of you. Data used to
recognize your face is only stored on your device and is not acces-
sible by apps or backed up on Google servers.
For more information on how to use these features, see Trusted
devices and face matching.
Screen pinning
You can enable your device to only show a certain app’s screen
using screen pinning. Screen pinning can be handy if you want to
play a game without accidentally minimizing the app if you touch
the Home button. Some apps may ask you if you want to use
screen pinning.
When a screen is unpinned, you can choose to return to the
screen where you enter your password or PIN.
To pin a screen:
1. Go to Settings > Security > Screen pinning and turn screen
pinning on.
2. Open an app.
