OnePlus: Set Up Trusted Places for Smart Lock

If your OnePlus phone keeps locking itself at work or another spot you visit daily, Smart Lock can leave it unlocked there instead of forcing a PIN or pattern every time. Without a saved location, the normal screen lock rules apply everywhere, even places you trust. That means repeated unlocking in spots where it is not really needed.

Add Trusted Places to Smart Lock auf OnePlus

Smart Lock's trusted places feature keeps your OnePlus phone unlocked at locations you mark as safe, such as home, work, or a family member's place. Instead of relying only on a fixed screen timeout, the phone checks your current location and skips the lock screen when you are inside a saved area.

This is useful if you unlock your phone dozens of times a day at the same spot, for example at your desk or in a workshop. It reduces friction without disabling the lock screen everywhere else.

How to add a trusted place

Open the SettingsSecurity & lock screenSmart Lock. Enter your current pattern, PIN, or password to confirm it is you. Tap on Trusted places, then Add trusted place and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the location.

The phone uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile network data to estimate the boundary of a trusted place, so the exact unlock radius can vary slightly depending on signal accuracy.

If you need the lock screen active everywhere regardless of location, for example for stricter work compliance, remove the trusted place instead of relying on a shorter screen timeout.

Frequently asked questions

The radius depends on GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile signal strength, so it can be a bit larger or smaller than the actual building. In areas with weak signal, the phone may stay unlocked slightly beyond the intended boundary.
