Smart Lock has disappeared from my Pixel - anyone else?
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?
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.
The issue has been fixed, all you have to do is to update Google Play Services
Google has addressed this issue with most users not needing to do anything. The Trusted devices menu once again appears with previous pairings restored. If it’s not yet back, check if there are any updates to Google Play services by tapping this link on your phone.
Yep, disappeared for me yesterday and multiple people on Reddit (first link when you search for the issue) report the same. No idea if it will ever come back or if it's going to be replaced by the fancy Wear OS pairing (which won't work with any other Bluetooth device as far as I know)
