Just Installed Feb Update (last night) and now Smart Lock o longer works (set for my home location as trusted place)? Anyone else seeing this? Pixel 6

Trusted Devices is working fine for me. In my experience trusted location has always been hit & miss and needs the user to update their location quite often.

Try rebooting again. Wasn't working for me at my house either then I rebooted and it started working again. Honestly, it had worked intermittently before the update too.

What I did notice it killed for me was the always on screen. Now it's always off until I touch or lift it.

I always found smart lock to be problematical, and I have not used it since my Pixel 2.

Maybe it’s better now.
I have been using trusted devices with my Wear OS watch since 2015, and all Bluetooth headphones and it has always worked very well for me. Never had any issues with trusted devices.

Mine is worse since the Update. It was spotty 50/50 prior, now 90% not connecting with my trusted home base

Is it a trusted device or a trusted location. Trusted locations are notorious for needing to be re-established following OS updates.
