Solutions to Smart Unlock Problems
Some users find that despite having Smart Unlock configured through the Settings menu, and with the location precisely set, the feature doesn't seem to work most of the time. This problem occurs when using Smart Unlock based on location such as a home or office.

If not, you'd better set up a Bixby routine. To do this, go to Settings> Advanced Features and tap on Bixby Routines. You'll also find a Bixby Routines toggle in the Quick Settings section of the notifications drop-down menu. Tap on the name and not on the switch. Once the page opens, click on "Details." You will find "Smart Unlock" in the list of existing presets in the "My Workouts" section.
