I noticed today I was having to use fingerprint unlock every time I wanted to access my 6a, even though normally I use Smart Lock to keep my phone unlocked when it’s near my Bluetooth watch. I just checked through the settings and Smart Lock has disappeared, as has on-body detection. Has this happened to anybody else?

    Thanks - that’s half addressed the mystery. So on the one hand I was looking in the wrong place and your links pointed me right. But on the other hand, when I go there trusted devices has indeed disappeared - it now only offers on-body detection and trusted places. Weird

      Yeah you’re right, mine only has On-body detection and Trusted places too. Haven’t been using Smart Lock so can’t say when that changed but there was definitely a Android 13 update that downloaded/installed a couple of days ago so maybe that was it?

      I’ve never used the device unlock, but I see that the option isn’t there for me anymore either. I use the location option but it’s hit or miss anyway.

      Check again it might be back on your phone? I just looked at mine & Trusted Devices is there, not sure if there was another update or maybe it came back after I restarted my phone in the last few days.
