My phone just gave me the option to stay unlocked while home since I unlock it alot at home.Is that weird?

Or innovative?
I accepted the offer. Is someone trying to steal my identity? lol

Most Android phones can do that. It's location based. I wouldn't use it personally, since the finger print scanner is easy enough.

@SW-User so they say. How do I get to the option to keep it unlocked at home? I told it 'ok' but it's still requiring password like normal..

@iamnikki Probably in the lock screen settings as "Smart Lock"

@SW-User i did it once. then it gave me a tip, saying i could easily lock it from the screen if needed by selected the lock icon on the lock screen. now it's back to password. I went back to where you screenshotted. looks like ill have to enter my adress a 3rd time for this to work.

i wish my phone would do that. right now i’m operating off of a thumbprint about 1 million times a day.

@SW-User you can just turn it off

@itsoeasy i realized that right after i made my comment, but i guess i’m just willing to suffer for privacy. as of now, there are two people who have my code, and one of their thumbprints is on here too.

That's been standard on android for years. It just recognizes your home wifi and/or GPS coordinates.

I just noticed my laptop is putting appointments on my calendar before I even open the email and know I have an appointment😳

It's all getting a little creepy

Your Android phone, has circuitry that tells it exactly where you are, and it knows where you live, because you signed up for an account with the phone carrier, and provided your home address.

@Northwest I understand that

itsoeasy · 56-60, M

i never lock my phone

@itsoeasy I didnt use to. But I kept losing it at work. and since personal info is saved in it, I better start locking it
