Turn off screen lock

How do I turn screen lock off so I don't have to enter pin code every time I use phone

There is no way to remove lock screen. But you can use Swipe for screen lock type. However, that leave your phone no security at all.

Try using Face regconition or Finger print for unlock if you don't want to type everytime.

Or set up Bixby routine to unlock your phone while you are at home. See screenshot.

There doesn't seem to be a 'Device' option!

And when I get to 'Lock Screen' there is no "None" to disable PIN screen lock

Ah well, thanks for trying.

I'm going to change my password to IHATESAMSUNG.

At least I'll feel better.

I know this is over a year old but i figured id post some updated insite.

the directions you've been given already are correct. you got to settings then lock screen then select none or swipe.

but the post below by Tallman is alright but you don't need routines to unlock your phone when your home.

below the lock type in the same settings I mentioned above you should see smart lock. input your password and there you go. see images below.

the directions you've been given already are NOT correct. you got to settings then lock screen then YOU CANNOT select none or swipe. IT DOESN'T EXIST!

How to use Smart Lock to turn off Screen Lock? There is nothing there to do that!
