Connecting to trusted devices
If you have a device that you connect to regularly using Bluetooth or NFC, for
example a home entertainment system or fitness tracker, you can add it as a
trusted device and bypass the lock screen to save time. This feature is suitable if
you're normally in a secure place when you use this device. In some cases, you
may need to unlock your device manually before a trusted device can be
connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as
