Set up a trusted device
If you use a screen lock, trusted devices will allow your phone to remain unlocked while connected to a Bluetooth device. If you disconnect or get too far away, your phone will lock again.
To designate trusted devices:
You must first have a screen lock enabled in order to select trusted devices. You can set up a screen lock by going to Settings > Security > Screen lock > Choose from Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or Password.
- Pair your phone with a Bluetooth device and select Trusted Device when prompted.
You can also:
- Tap Apps.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Security.

- Tap the devices you would like to be trusted.
Note: While connected to a trusted device, you can manually lock your phone through the notification curtain. Your power button will not automatically lock the phone when you are connected to a trusted device.
