How to Lock and Unlock Your Phone with Google Assistant

Google Assistant can do a whole lot—in fact, some of its functions are surprising. From checking traffic to playing music and videos, the Assistant can make your life more convenient.

Another nifty trick you can add to your Google Assistant arsenal is using it to unlock and lock your Android phone with your voice. Here’s how to do it.

3 Years later this still taught me what I needed. Nice.

I don't think the latest versions of google can voice unlock bc I have an A71 and I can't find it

Make sure your "Do Not Disturb" is off. If it isn't, you need to add the Google app in the Allowed Apps while DND is on.

So sad that google decided to remove this feature to enhance security 😔

Phone settings are no longer an option in the Google assistant menu. This information is outdated

Hi. I am having such a hard time unlocking my phone with Google Assistant. I downloaded the app you recommended. The OFF+ . but that doesn´t help. Everytime I give the command to unlock my phone it prompts me with my digit code. I have the right settings and all. Could you please help and show us a way around?

Only brings up PIN-prompt. Earlier it shortly flashed some text bubble saying something like " _Voice unlock is now paused._ ".
The amount of quirks of Google's voice interface...

How do you do this on Android 10 - settings are different now

[Freeezie]

Why is it that I can't use any voice commands at all until I press the power button, kinda defeats the purpose of hands free

This video should be removed as Google had made the facility redundant!!!

My phone needs the screen to be on for the google assistant to work. Is it possible to get around it by installing different android on it?

[MrDaksh]

You should be a radio Jockey or a very well famed audio dubbed person.. your voice is damn good .. 👍

Which it could be set up with a phrase as passcode to unlock

[hagendornkristof]

They either removed it or I just can't find it

[freakyfn]
