Noticed in the vehicle the last few days the phone will not stay unlocked even though it's been set as a Trusted Location, or whatever it was called. My on-body detection is working and showing as well as Trusted Places. Any idea what's happened to where I used to keep it unlocked in my truck?

Seems to be a widespread issue. Hopefully Google gets it fixed ASAP

Smart lock problem
I've had to keep using my fingerprint to open my phone even though I have my watch linked as a trusted device in smart lock. I checked smart lock and the trusted devices option is missing. Any solutions? Thanks

Your vehicle would be a Trusted Device, not a Trusted Place. As YankInDaSouth mentioned, Trusted Device seems to have disappeared from many devices lately, for unclear reasons. Perhaps it has to do with some rumored new smart unlock feature with the Pixel Watch.
I knew it wasn't a trusted place. But trusted device was escaping me.
I've even been having trouble the last two or three days with Trusted Places. Home in particular. But at least Trusted Places shows on the phone.

This is my issue: Why, or How does Google, or anyone else have such control over MY PHONE that I OWN fully outright? I don't want to hear all the blah, blah, blah about "free" Android apps/features because NOTHING....NOTHING is free! We pay with our personal data EVERY day we use these "free" apps/features! However, does this give "them" (put whomever you want here) the right to actually reach into MY PHONE and add or remove ANYTHING without my express permission????
This is what I do not accept! Maybe it IS time to look at de-googling myself!

And just like that, Trusted Devices is back for me.
Hello all, the last few weeks Smart Lock (or not so smart) has been acting up when I plug in to charge. As soon as I plug in the phone the screen wakes up and shows the charging ring/percentage of charge left and then the screen goes dark and then it lights up again with the opened by Smart Lock message again. It seems to be trapped in this loop. One of the downsides is that the phone won't charge while this is happening. Sometimes rebooting the phone will make it stop for awhile and sometimes not. I removed trusted places for now but still no joy. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks......S23U

Was that a good idea. Sounds like a completely different issue. Or at least a completely different different manifestatation of the same issue.
