Google is enhancing the Trusted places functionality within the Extend Unlock feature for Android devices, allowing users to keep their devices unlocked for up to four hours in designated safe locations. An upcoming update from Google Play Services v24.37.31 beta will introduce a new toggle to easily activate and deactivate the Trusted places feature without deleting saved locations. Additionally, a new user interface will include a location picker for more intuitive setup of trusted places. These features are still in development.

The latest beta version of the Google app has revealed plans to enhance the "Trusted Places" feature, making it easier for users to manage and access within Settings > Location > Trusted Places. This feature allows devices to remain unlocked in designated locations for security and convenience. Speculation suggests that the update may also integrate "Extend Unlock" settings. Many functionalities are still in development with no timeline for release, but enhancements are expected to coincide with or follow the launch of Android 15. The update aims to provide a more integrated approach to personal security settings and may complement other features like "Private Spaces" for discreet app storage.
