Don't want Lock Screen?

[Pinmac1]

Is there a way for my S7 Edge to go straight into a normal screen with all my apps when I press the Home button to turn the screen on? At the moment, it goes in to the Lock Screen which I have to swipe each time to get rid of. I have it set to stay unlocked when it is close to my Gear S2 watch but I still have to swipe each time.

On the Home Screen Tap on Apps.
Go to Settings then tap on Lock screen and security.
Choose Lock screen
Select the screen Lock type. (None)

Thank you. I had a go at that and when I say "None" it says it will delete my fingerprint data? To clarify, I don't want the Lock screen to come on when connected to my watch but I do if it's not e.g. if it's stolen.

Sorry, it sounded like you wanted it totally off.

I just tested Smart Lock (on a different phone) and also have to swipe. On the swipe page there's an option to lock by tapping a lock icon, if the S7 Edge also has that I'd guess you can't remove the swipe requirement... or at least can't see a way on my phone.

Or you known, press the home key to turn screen on and not let your finger off it so the phone will read it and unlock?

I never knew you could do that! Many thanks, now I have to get out of the habit of swiping!
