One of the more convenient security features added in Android 5.0 Lollipop is "smart lock." Google started rolling out a 'Trusted voice' feature in the Smart
Lock menu for Android Lollipop, while it has also added a new Nicknames
feature to search for contacts.
According to Android Police :
on Monday, the feature has been silently rolled out to multiple users.
Just like the previously Smart Lock features - Trusted face, Trusted
devices, and Trusted places - the menu now sports the Trusted voice
option to unlock the device.
It is unknown that which version of the Google Play services
has got the feature, but 7.0.99 on Lollipop-based Nexus 4 and Nexus 5
smartphones have not received the feature as yet.
With the updated Google app, users will now be able to use Google Now to
create nicknames for Contacts on their device. Users can go to Google
settings, tap on Search & Now to see if the 'Nicknames' has been
added for them under Accounts & Privacy sub-menu.
How Secure is this device :
The popup when you enable "Trusted Voice" warns that the feature is not
as secure as a traditional lock screen and that "Someone with a similar
voice or a recording of your voice saying “Ok Google” could unlock your device."
