  • Google is working on adding a toggle to turn the Trusted places feature on and off within Extend Unlock.
  • Previously, users would have to delete all locations to turn the feature off, making it quite inconvenient if they wanted to toggle it off temporarily.
  • We also managed to activate the location picker UI.

Android phones have many smaller settings and features that make using them easier. One such feature is Trusted places within Extend Unlock, which keeps your phone unlocked and ready to use for up to four hours in safe locations like your home. Users can set up multiple locations as their trusted places, but it’s not very easy to manage when you want the feature active. Google could remedy this with an upcoming release.

The latest Google Play Services v24.37.31 beta has a new toggle that makes it easy to turn on and off the trusted places feature for extended unlock.
