Like all other mobile devices, it is a wise idea to always keep the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow device locked so that it may not unlock, accidentally, while in pocket, in purse or in hand. The accidental unlocking may cause numerous damages to your settings, privacy, apps or data inside the smartphone.
Like previous versions, Android has provided a new mechanism to lock the screen of the device, automatically, after a set time – you may select the time to sleep the device after the set time. But,to unlock, you need manual mechanism.
The new mechanism is a little similar to the previous one but functions in a different way. But, if you need help, just see the instructions.
