Oppo: Enable or Disable On-body Detection in Smart Lock

Your Oppo phone stays unlocked the whole time you are carrying it, even after you slide it into a pocket or bag. That is On-body detection at work, a Smart Lock feature that reads motion sensors instead of checking who is actually holding the device. If someone else picks up your phone while it is still moving, they get straight in without a PIN or fingerprint.

Turn On-body Detection On or Off auf Oppo

On-body detection belongs to the Smart Lock group inside Coloros. It keeps your Oppo phone unlocked as soon as the device registers continuous motion, for example while it sits in your pocket or bag.

The feature relies purely on the accelerometer. It cannot tell who is actually carrying the phone, so a stranger who picks up a still-moving device inherits the unlocked state until it stops moving or gets set down long enough to lock again.

To enable or disable the function: Tap on SettingsTap on SecurityTap on Smart lockTap on On-body detectionEnable or disable On-body detectionTap on Continue.

Turning it off means the phone locks again every time the screen goes dark, no matter whether you are still holding it. That costs a bit of convenience but closes the gap for anyone who wants the lock screen to always require authentication.

Keep On-body detection on if you mainly want fewer unlock prompts during a short walk or workout and are not worried about someone grabbing the device while it is unlocked. Pair it with a short screen-timeout if you want a middle ground between comfort and security.

Frequently asked questions

The feature only uses the accelerometer, which needs very little power, so the effect on battery life is minimal.
