After update to newest Android some months ago, I have to access phone through 2 screen locks: First I have to swipe and then making the pattern lock. I only want the pattern lock.
My lock screen type says "pattern". I just changed it to same pattern, but theres still first the "swipe screen to unlock" and then the pattern screen.
How do I turn off the swipe to unlock?
it's a curse

I am running a stock un-rooted note 5 . my issue is that I have to Swipe up on the lock Screen and use the fingerprint to unlock but I only want to use the fingerprint . Any idea HOW to do this?
Please search next time. You have smart lock activated. If you have a lock icon on you lock screen, your phone is not secure. Just swipe anywhere but from that icon and your phone unlocks. If you swipe from the lock icon, then you are securing it for the next time you turn the screen on. To change the smart lock setting, go to settings > lock screen and security>secure lock settings> smart lock.
The thing is I already searched and could not find anything on this. Also smart lock is not turned on. If I wipe it's either use finger print or pin if it can't read my print after a few tries. My phone will not unlock from just a swipe it has to be a pin or password. I don't want to swipe at all but just use a finger print.
I figured it out the thread can be closed.

I'm having this same issue. What was the solution?
I use pattern unlock to unlock my screen. I just upgraded to 6.0 and now I get a "Swipe screen to unlock" screen before I can input my pattern unlock (see attached screen shot). This swipe screen didn't appear on 5.1.1. This screen is very annoying. It is an extra step to unlock my phone. How do I get rid of this screen to access the pattern screen directly? I turned off Smart Lock.
I want answers to the same question. Its verkligen annoying with 2 screenlock.
Do anyone have a solution?
Hello, good day!
Are there any apps there that can lock your phone screen (like double tap to lock), and can be unlocked using your fingerprint only?
I have a rooted device, and have tried nova launcher's double tap to lock gesture, but every time I unlock my phone, it asks for the pin. I'm on android 6.0 btw.
thanks
Hey folks,
is there any way I can have only the pattern lock screen enabled, but no wipe screen before?
As soon as I turn on "pattern lock" on my htc one m9, i must swipe the lock before I can unlock the pattern. Doing two swipes is kind of annoying and really redundant! I only want the pattern screen, no lock-swipe screen.
Thank you

So I'm just realizing this. But my S8+ looks too easy to unlock if all I have to do is swipe the screen. At first I had a pattern and when I swipe my screen I was able to put in the pattern. Then when I use the finger print the screen swipe still came up with the pattern (if I didn't feel like using the fingerprint scan.) But now I'm using the iris scan and the screen swipe instantly unlocks my phone without bringing up the pattern. And I feel as though if someone had my phone they can easily get into my phone. So is there a way to disable the screen swipe? And yes I check I have the pattern on but it doesn't show at all with the iris scanner on and off.
