Galaxy S25
I can't get trusted places to turn on. I have set this up on every phone I have ever owned. It just won't turn on.
Updated Google Play Services to the current version. Wiped cache in Google Play Services and cache partition !
Anyone else with this problem on their S25U?

Have you tried Samsung's version? I've found it to be much more reliable on my S23+.
I don't use Google's Extend Unlock triggers (Trusted places, Trusted devices, etc.) to keep the phone unlocked. I tried that when I first got my previous phone, but found Google's Trusted place triggers unreliable and switched to using Samsung's settings instead.
Samsung has the ability to add locations (home, work, etc.) to your Samsung profile. You can add a wifi network to one of these places to make sure your phone can confirm that you're at the right place. You can then use the places in your Samsung profile as triggers for Modes and Routines. For example, I have a Routine that triggers while I'm at home and, among other things, keeps my phone unlocked.
When you set a place as a trigger for a Mode or Routine you can define the radius around the location, so I'm able to have the whole house included in the same Place trigger. This radius can be set anywhere from .1 miles to 1.2 miles.
(Be aware that when setting up or editing any Routine that keeps your phone unlocked, you'll be required to enter a passcode or
fingerprint before you can save that Routine.)
This method still has Extended Unlock's limitations (still need to enter pin/passcode after 4 hours, after missed call, etc.). This just
provides a more reliable and flexible way to trigger it.

It's not an S25 thing. It happened to my wife's 24+, too.
Apparently the latest update wiped the trusted places. You'll have to reenter them all.

It was working just fine on my S24U. You can't turn it on in the S25U.
