- Google could soon make it easier to manage your Trusted places.
- A Trusted places option can be found under Location in Settings.
- It appears the Trusted places page has been redesigned.
If you have an Android device, you can designate certain locations, like your home, as an area where its safe to keep your phone unlocked. This feature is known as Trusted places and it will automatically unlock your handset when you enter the area. Managing your Trusted places takes quite a few steps, but Google may soon make it a little easier to access.
Currently, if you want to access Trusted places, you have to go to Settings > Privacy and Security > More Security & Privacy > Extend Unlock > Enter your pin > Trusted Places. However, in the most recent Google Play Services beta (version 24.34.33), the option has been moved to a different setting.
