Smart Lock
You can turn on Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked when it’s clear
that you have it with you—for example, when it’s connected to your
Bluetooth watch or when it recognizes your face.
Trusted devices and face matching
You can set your device to stay unlocked while connected to a Bluetooth
device—like a watch, fitness 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 accessible 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.
