My OK Google option 'from any screen' suddenly disappeared, where could it have gone?

Thanks ! That worked great. I had fixed it before for S4 but so long ago I completely forget! Thanks for the reminder. OK on my Note 5 now!

Update in PlayStore, then "Settings->Lock Screen & Security->Secure Lock Settings->Smart Lock->Trusted Voice".

Sorry, but update "what", in Play Store?

My Wife's vanished too. We didn't realize it was a widget, probably because the only way (that I could find) to see widgets is to press for a long time on a screen. Anyway, there it was, and I just dragged it back on.

I have been having this problem as well for the past two or three days. (GS6 on Sprint).

I have a Galaxy Note 4 (T-mobile) running the latest firmware and it's on Android 6.0.1.

When I say "Ok Google" to my phone locked screen, it'd wake up, but then I'd get stuck on the Lock Screen. I'd have to manually unlock it (I use the Swipe Pattern Lock). That beats the purpose of operating Google Assistant in a hands-free manner, especially when I'm driving.

The "Trusted Voice" option is missing from my Google Assistant/Now settings. "Ok Google from any screen" is available and is turned on. I remember back then I used to have the "Trusted Voice" option, but maybe in the last few versions, it's been removed? I'm not sure.
