Anyone having issues with smart lock lately? I've always used it since I wear a Samsung watch, it will work for awhile and then all of a sudden it won't work and shows no devices. A restart fixes it for awhileScreenshot_20230417_202449_Google Play services.jpg

A restart wouldn't fix it for me, after the April security update.
I found the solution on the Samsung Members forum.
Believe it or not, this worked!

Settings > Trust Agents > turn on options

You have to turn off Smart Lock in trusted agents and then turn it on again. Not sure what caused the issue in the 1st place.

Ok, so I did some digging around online yesterday, it's not a Samsung issue, it's a Google issue. One of the solutions I found was to go to settings, apps, Google play services, clear cache then restarting the phone. So far there hasn't been any issue.
