Realme: Set Up Trusted Places for Smart Lock

If your Realme phone locks itself the moment you sit down at your desk or walk through your front door, Smart Lock's trusted places feature is likely switched off. This function keeps the device unlocked at chosen locations, such as home or work, even when an automatic screen lock timer is active. Without it, you end up entering your PIN or pattern dozens of times a day in places you already trust.

Add Trusted Places to Smart Lock auf Realme

Realme phones lock automatically after a short timeout, even at places you visit every day. Trusted places is part of Smart Lock in Realme UI and keeps the device unlocked as long as it stays within a location you approve, such as home or your workplace.

The feature relies on GPS and Wi-Fi positioning to confirm you are inside the saved radius. Once you leave that area, the normal lock screen returns immediately, so security is not permanently disabled - only paused at places you trust.

To add a location, open SettingsSecuritySmart LockTrusted placesAdd trusted place and follow the on-screen steps to confirm the address.

Trusted places works best for fixed locations with reliable GPS reception. Indoors, in basements, or in large office buildings, positioning can be inaccurate, so the phone may still lock unexpectedly. In that case, combining trusted places with Smart Lock's on-body detection covers the gap between locations.

Keep in mind that anyone who picks up your phone inside a trusted place also bypasses the lock screen. Skip this feature for shared spaces or add only locations where you control who has physical access to the device.

Frequently asked questions

Smart Lock checks your position with GPS and Wi-Fi at intervals, which adds slightly more battery use than having location services fully off. On most Realme phones the effect is minor compared to the convenience of skipping repeated unlocks.
