The Basics
Phone search: Phone search settings let you select which apps on your
phone are included in Google searches.
Privacy and accounts: These settings control the account for use with
Google Search and search-related privacy options for that account.
Locking the Screen
Your phone automatically uses a default Lock Screen to simply prevent
unintentional function activation. You can choose to secure your phone so
that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your data, buy applications,
and so on. For added security to guard against unauthorized use, you can
set a requirement (such as face unlock, pattern, PIN, or password) that will
need to be entered to unlock it. You can also set no lock screen at all.
Setting Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN, or Password
Follow these steps to set an unlock sequence for the first time or after you
disable a previously set unlock sequence.
1. From the Home screen, tap Apps
>
Settings
> Lock screen.
2. Tap Select screen lock.
3. Tap None, Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or Password.
None: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked from
use.
Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen will unlock
the screen.
Face Unlock: Unlocks the screen using face recognition. Keep in mind
that Face unlock is less secure than a pattern, PIN or password because
it uses generalized shape and dimension to verify your face.
Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.
The first time you set an unlock pattern, you will see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and tap Next. Draw
your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap Continue. Then redraw
your pattern and tap Confirm.
NOTE
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup PIN number in case you forget your
pattern.
