Hi,
the smart lock - trusted location option is not working as it should do.
i've set up my home address as a trusted location, however, my S8 device is unlocked everywhere.
just realised this while i was in the office, that i can access my device withouth using the PIN or the fingerprint.
i've oppend the maps and the location that it shows up is correct. 2miles away from my home address.
the only workaround that i found was to turn off the trusted location, and now the device is asking for the PIN.
this is a serious security issue. the trusted location option is not that trusted
any idea?
thanks,
sabina
thanks for your reply TalihK
have no other devices that are connected with my samsung account.
and my S8 is using the mobile data not the wifi network that i have in my office, so it's not the network either.
the only option that i choosed for the smart lock is the location. nothing else.
thanks,
sabina
Same issue after last update... sucks! Wish I had not broken my S7, I think I liked it better
Hi,
I had the same issue and resolved it by wiping the cache partition!

I´m having the same problem.
SmartLock with trusted location has been working for a few days.
Then, some days it works, some days it seems to be misplaced.
I don´t think it´s usual or normal to wipe chache os uninstall an account to maintain the service working properly.
Samsung must send a fix to this bug ASAP.
