This seems to be a common problem at least amongst Galaxy products, since I have the same problem in Galaxy Tab A9 and S9, and also in S24 phone. In addition, there seems to be another thread about this specifically for Galaxy S23. So I guess it is a common Samsung android OS problem.
When I set Extended unlock using my location as a trusted place, and location service is always on, still every time the phone gets locked and I have to enter PIN to unlock.
I have updated the latest UI for all my products, One UI 6.x (Android 14).

I have read some "workarounds" like resetting this in Extended unlock, but it works only until next unlock, so it's not a workaround at all.


Please everybody, make an error report for Samsung in Settings->About->Contact us and create error report.

Same here S23U. It's a bit hit and miss.

Just been playing around with this and it seems if I set my trusted place at where the location pin is dropped rather than my exact house number then extend unlock works all the time.

Never works, pathetic that it's on samsung devices as I have to manually unlock everytime since google released, google and samsung not interested in fixing so please don't use on samsung devices on google phones. You are wasting your time. S23 ultra.
