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?

      But why remove it from 13? I use the BT smart unlock for a lot of things. Is there a legitimate reason for this?

      God I can’t wait for the shitty mandatory “waiting period” to end on my fully paid off Pixel 7 so I can root it and install a ROM I’ll actually like.

          I bought mine outright from my carrier, but they didn’t tell me there was a 90 day waiting period because they didn’t want me to buy the phone at a discount then bail. I pointed out that I had been a customer of theirs for decades, and this kind of bullshit is precisely what would make me cancel and move to a new carrier.
