Possible to not need to unlock phone if on home Wi-Fi?

[King Mustard]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and, when I'm home (and on my home Wi-Fi), I'd like to not need to unlock my phone each time.

Is this possible?

Yes, that is possible.

Please take a look at this article for instructions.

It will use your GPS, not your WiFi.

Hmm odd -- what version of the phone do you have (carrier, unlocked, etc.) ?

What lock method are you using? I believe you have to be using something other than swipe for the option to show.

Fingerprints, with PIN as a backup.

That's weird. I have fingerprint+PIN as well. What happens if you use the settings search?
