Phone often locks, even though trusted places are on

[jbcamel]

I have my home address as a trusted place on my galaxy S23. About 25% of the time when I go to use my phone and I am home the screen is locked and I have to put in my passcode. It can be a real pain! Has anyone figured out a way around this?

I have tried turning off, trusted places, restarting my phone and setting it up again. Still only works sometimes.

help!

Sorry but this is a common issue that sometimes your device will still require your passcode even at a Trusted location.  I don't know of anyway I make it stay unlocked I put abut 4-5 trusted location pins around my house to try and force it but it will still require a pin from time to time.

You need to adjust the perimeter around your home.  When you add your address and the map comes up, add about .1 miles to the perimeter.  Google maps (which informs the location) does not know the dimensions of your house and will not get it correct, which is why it will remain unlocked when you are in the front part of your home, but lock when you go to the back.  It also does not do well with multi-dwelling buildings. You can set a routine to keep your phone unlocked when connected to your home wi-fi network.  You can add several trusted wi-fi networks to the same routine, so that your phone will remain unlocked on those networks.  If you have a watch, you can keep the phone unlocked when connected to it.  You will still have to unlock it every 72 hours or after a missed call or missed notification.

Keep in mind that location accuracy isn't guaranteed, and trusted places only have a range of 80-125 meters.
