Smart Lock gives you a faster way of unlocking your phone than entering a password, PIN, or pattern.
Set up your phone to automatically unlock the screen when it's with you, it detects a trusted device nearby such as your
Bluetooth® headset, or you're in a trusted place such as within your home network. This is a good option if you don't want to enter your credentials each time you unlock your device.
