Smart Lock not working Galaxy S23 Ultra

[Iain321]

I use my Galaxy Watch 4 Bluetooth connection with my Galaxy S23 Ultra to automatically unlock my phone via Smart Lock. 

But this Smart Lock method no longer works. 

Settings give me the choice of using Smart Lock with a trusted place or on body but the third choice - connected device - is now missing. 

Is this a Google Play Services fault again? Or is it Samsung?

Same here on S21 5g. Can we have it back again please.

It will be corrected, at some point

Thank you. Good to know it's not just me....sort of.

Let's hope Google fixes it soon...I'm really missing it.

W moim S23+ opcja zaufane urządzenia również znikła wczoraj po aktualizacji. Samsung napraw to!

I had the same issue. I found out goolge play services was not updating. Had to manually force it to update. After 3 tries it finally updated. After the restart trusted devices was there again.

Yayyyy...thank you @Scothotnm ....forcing Play Services update does indeed work. All three Smart Lock settings are now back. For those that don't know how to do this:
Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Google Play system update > Check for update (in box at bottom of screen)
Again....thanks to @Scothotnm
