stay unlocked in favorite places

Since PIE update, I'm missing ability to keep phone, Galaxy s8, unlocked while in designated (favorite) places..in my case, home..any help please.

Have you checked the places map? The update may have wiped it.

I am not using it -- but I think this is a cool feature!!!

found it...smart lock must first be set up and enabled..then multiple options for keeping unlocked or unlocking. Settings>Lock Screen>Screen Lock Type....SmartLock

btw. you can no longer unlock your phone using Google's voice recognition..option has bee omitted on all droids

apparently just started (or stopped) as of late June and wont go into effect unless you update. I "ok Google" d and asked why it didnt unlock..that was the answer give. I didnt think to ask why.
