Lock screen

If a lock is set for your screen, the screen goes dark and locks
when the display goes to sleep or if you press the Power button.

You can set locks of different strengths using lock settings:

1. Go to

Settings > Personal > Security > Screen lock.

2. Touch the type of lock you’d like to use.

Lock screen actions

From the lock screen:

• If you have a tablet that’s set up for more than one user, you

may need to touch your image at the bottom of the screen to
see your own lock screen.

• On a phone, regardless of the lock that you choose, it’s

always easy to take a picture. Swipe left from the right edge
to bring Camera into view.

• To open Google Now from the lock screen, swipe up from

the bottom of the lock screen. Enter your PIN, pattern or
password if prompted.

Face Unlock

Face Unlock is one of the locks available. After you've set it up,
you can unlock your device just by looking at it. Although Face
Unlock is not as secure as Pattern, PIN or Password, it can be
convenient and fun to use.
