If you’re one of the many Galaxy S8 owners who have Google Smart Lock enabled, you may want to turn it off. Smart Lock is a feature that allows you to automatically unlock your phone and sign in to Google accounts when you’re near a compatible device, like your home or work computer. But while Smart Lock is handy, it can also be annoying if it keeps locking your phone every time you step away from your home or office. Here’s how to turn off Google Smart Lock on the Galaxy S8:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Galaxy S8.
  2. Scroll down and tap on “Security & location.”
  3. Under “Smart Lock,” tap on “Google Smart Lock.”
  4. If you want to disable Google Smart Lock completely, tap on “Disable.” Otherwise, tap on “Enable.” ..
