Help Without passcode?

[louis2008]

Hello

I have a question, I often need to look at the Android phone for new message

but it's really so annoying to enter pass code even 4-digit passcode each time

I'd like to know if I disable passcode at all, and if my phone is lost or stolen,

could I be able to lock up the phone with Google account ?

-- Can I make any secure setting so that only Whatsapp , wechat which

are often used, can be accessed without passcode

, while other things like photos and videos taken stored on the phone (which is not

often used), can only be accessed with passcode?

Try Smart lock from the play store

You can use Android Device Manager to lock and reset the password, or simply wipe the phone. The problems are that a.) your phone has to be accessible to the internet either via mobile data or wifi and b.) without a passcode whoever has your phone already has access to your accounts and apps and until you get ADM to lock or reset it they can do some serious damage.

Open the play store on a computer, then log into your gmail account. In the upper right you should see a gear icon. Click there to get to Android Device Manager.

Hi, you haven't said what device you have, but it may be worth having a look in your 'Security' settings to see if you have the 'Smart lock' function.

I have it enabled on my HTC devices for 'trusted places' and 'on body' both of which work well.
