"I spend a lot of time in my apartment... alone. Because of that, I don't need my Android phone to constantly auto-lock. Since I'm the only one here, I could keep it unlocked every second I spend in my humble domicile without worry that someone might access the data within. To that end, I always configure my Android phones to remain unlocked in certain locations."
"What you'll need: An Android device running version 14 or newer of the OS. Also: This silent Android feature scans your photos for 'sensitive content' - how to disable it Once you've done that, you should find that the device will remain unlocked, so long as one or more of the conditions are met. Although your phone's display might appear locked, it's not. Swipe up and voilà! You have access."
Extend Unlock keeps Android phones unlocked when the device is on-body, near a trusted place, or paired with a trusted device, replacing the older Smart Unlock feature. The feature can be configured to honor one or multiple unlock conditions and requires Android 14 or newer. When conditions are met the display may appear locked but swiping up grants immediate access. Configuration is straightforward. A notable caveat is that nearby trusted wearables can keep the phone unlocked in public, so some users choose on-body detection and trusted places instead of the trusted devices option to reduce risk.
