Modes and Routine

[Mith43]

Is there a way to add "Extend Unlock" feature in Modes and Routine based on working time? Ie. Monday to Friday from 08 AM to 05 PM; the screen lock should be disabled. I tried but couldn't figure out. 

Appreciate help and suggestions.

It's there....
search 'unlock' in Other Actions (Screenshot Attached).
But only for 4 hours it lasts, so you have to unlock 1 time in between.

Thanks a ton.

Certainly, the "Extend Unlock" feature in Samsung's Modes and Routines can be configured to maintain your screen unlocked during specific time periods, such as your designated work hours. Allow me to guide you through the process:

1. **Accessing Modes and Routines:**
- Locate the Modes and Routines application on your Samsung device.

2. **Creating a New Routine:**
- Tap the "+" icon to initiate the creation of a new routine.

3. **Setting the Condition:**
- Select "Time period" as the condition and specify the desired time frame, for instance, Monday to Friday from 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM.

4. **Adding the Action:**
- Choose the action to disable the screen lock. Depending on your device, this option may be found under "Device settings" or "Security settings."

5. **Saving the Routine:**
- Assign a suitable name to your routine, such as "Work Hours Unlock," and save it.

By following these steps, your screen should remain unlocked during your designated work hours. If you encounter any difficulties, ensure that your device's software is up to date and that the necessary permissions are enabled for the Modes and Routines application.

Modes and Routines is one of Samsung's best and undersold features, IMO. It's one of the reasons I really like the platform.

Samsung should keep investing in it, to make it more powerful. There's so much more it should do.
