Since downloading the new oreo update my trusted location setting hasn't worked. I'll update my location daily so it knows where to unlock and I'll have up to 10 locations near my house and it still asks me for my biometrics or code to unlock. It's becoming frustrating. Please help!

It's working fine for me on my S8+ Oreo 8.0 - You have Trusted places turned on? Location is enabled? 29965e44-6b50-444a-aa7b-22e8b75e80ad.jpg

I have turned it on and off and also toggled my location service off/on and restarted the device numerous times. It works sometimes but then it seems like it sends my location elsewhere or forgets my saved locations.

I wonder if having up to 10 locations is an issue? Why not try to have Smart Lock keep the phone unlocked while it's on you?

recalibrated your GPS via maps or third party

disable the service for Trusted location
clear your system cache in recovery
then retry

same issue here on my Note 8 but hasn't worked reliably since about early February so before oreo. Really annoying and makes this once nice feature useless.

I've tried many suggestions and none worked. trusted places seems to work rarely when it chooses. even on a fresh setup of the phone and it wasn't working.
