Android SmartLock - Proximity to home wifi

Android Enthusiasts Asked by k b on January 22, 2021

I have seen other topics similar to this that are locked to further comments but the conversation goes way sideways. The issue is whether I can have my phone unlocked when I’m within range of my home wifi. This is preferable to using GPS where I burn battery and have someone tracking my every move. The conversation gets hijacked about the security of wifi vs bluetooth which shouldn’t matter; this issue needs to stay on whether I have to provide credentials to my phone to unlock it. The argument is correct – someone could break into my wifi – that’s a separate issue. Someone could break into my house and have access to my unlocked phone, but then I have a bigger problem to worry about. Please allow wifi proximity to activate SmartLock. Yes, Google would love to have me turn on my GPS but that’s not in my best interest.
