A new lock mode included the Google's latest update of Google Play Services and none other than the "On body detection smart lock".
Of course, as the name suggests, the specific blocking understand when our mobile phone is in contact with our body and locked accordingly.
Specifically, this system uses the accelerometer of our device to occupy when located in the pocket or our palm and not requesting pin-pattern to unlock. In this way, of course, we are able to use our device more quickly as we would if we had a smartwatch to us.
Of course, when touching our device on a flat surface (a table), the device will realize that it is no longer used and will lock itself. In any case, if the time you use your smartphone we give it to someone else to hold it in his hand, then it will not be so able to understand that it was not used by the owner with the result that locks your data remain exposed.
Currently, this feature seems to be only available on devices with Android 5.0 and above, this does not mean that Google will not provide for earlier versions of the operating -alloste not announced anything officially from the company-after anyway as we have said before, she wont be upgrading its services to many devices often without software upgrade required.
As always, this upgrade will be made available progressively to users of devices with the nexus precede and other devices to follow. Naturally impatient can flassaroun the Google Play Services directly from here.
