Android Lollipop Trusted Places

Hi,
HackVenture Readers!

Today I am telling you "Android Lollipop Trusted Places"
Unlock Your Phone At Home Again
Jamie Condliffe, Gawker Media

Google's new version of Android, Lollipop, is wonderful.
And now, one of our very few niggles-that its smart
unlocking features didn't also react to location-is fixed.
You probably unlock your phone a lot, though you
probably find there are places, like at home or maybe in
your office if you trust your co-workers, where you'd
rather not have to. Which is why Android 5.0's Smart
Lock now allows you to add trusted places. Define a
location as safe, and your phone won't present its lock
screen when you're in the vicinity-it'll just let you get
straight to Facebook or Gmail or Spotify or whatever
else you were planning to use.
The feature joins trusted faces and trusted devices, that
allow you to use your, err, face and other devices
respectively to circumnavigate the lock screen, too. It's
a lovely and welcome addition, one of those smart little
tricks which will make your life more pleasant without
you really noticing. You can add multiple locations that
you trust, and it's claimed that the feature adds no
delays to unlocking your phone.
The new feature comes as an update to Smart Lock,
itself an update to Google Play Services. The new
version should be spreading to Lollipop devices now,
but if you're impatient you can download it from
download it from the APKMirror . [ APKMirror via Android

Thank You !
