Keep phone unlocked at trusted places

nandohyphen1

When I had my old Motorola phone, there was a feature that would keep your phone unlocked at trusted locations until you left the radius that you set. I thought this was cool, but hated giving away my location to Motorola. Are there FOSS apps that can do this? I'd love to be able to keep my phone completely unlocked whenever I'm at home.

That feature is also present in the stock OS but I'm not aware of any apps that provide it (maybe Automate or MacroDroid?)

I just found Automate and it says it can. I've gotta run right now but I'm going to test Automate later (plus it says Automate works without Google Play Services and doesn't have trackers. ;) )

nandohyphen1 👀 it'll be interesting.

Well, I've downloaded Automate, but I can't figure out how to set it up... I'm also looking for other options to try too

nandohyphen1 Well, I've downloaded Automate, but I can't figure out how to set it up...

Would anybody know how to set this up and could you guide me? This would be a useful feature if I could get it working. For anyone that wants to test it/ help me set it up, this is what I want it to do;
Keep my phone unlocked at a certain location.
Keep it unlocked within a certain radius of that location.
Lock the phone as soon as it leaves that radius.

Looks like this could work... But it has 30 trackers!!! 😑😔
