When the Android Lollipop 5.0 operating system added the ability to use Smart Lock, users of Android quickly gained access to features. Numerous new locking and unlocking techniques were added by Smart Lock, which significantly enhanced the OS’s earlier facial recognition feature. It has the ability to unlock a phone using a trusted Bluetooth device. Here’s how to set up Android Smart Lock to use a Fitbit (or any trusted Bluetooth device) to unlock a phone.
