Screen Lock Type -- only option offered is 'Pattern': Android 7.0/Samsung 8.1

[Android Central Question]

Android 7.0 , Samsung version 8.1

I want to skip the pattern lock but the Screen Lock Type option list gives only 'Pattern'.

How can I disable the Pattern Screen Lock?

Thank you.

I’m not sure whether that’s an S7 on 8.0, or an S8 on 7.0, or a Note 8 on 7.0. I don’t think there is a Note 8 on 7.0, so let’s move the thread and ask the S8 guys.

That's an S8.
Thanks very much.

It's okay, I've already moved it to the S8 forum.
