Galaxy S25I 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.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Galaxy S25I 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.

Galaxy S25Near the bottom of your profile page, you should see an option to "Add places". Tap that and tap the plus sign at the top of the next screen.
Choose what type of location you want (home, work, car, other, etc.) and give it a name. The search bar only seems to work with named businesses. For unnamed addresses, you'll have to drag the map around with your fingers to get the right place.
If you're already physically at the location (home, work, etc.), you can just tap on the crosshairs and pick "current location". You will also be able to add a wifi network to give your phone one more way to confirm the location.
If you're using one of these places as a trigger condition for a Mode or Routine (for example, you set Home Mode to keep your phone unlocked at your house), you can set a radius around the location so you can be sure to include your whole house, office building, etc. This helps ensure that your Mode or Routine will run throughout the whole location and your phone won't suddenly lock up just because you went from the back door to the front door.
(The example screenshot shows an auto parts store.)

Galaxy S25Apparently the latest update wiped the trusted places. You'll have to reenter them all.
