Location Based Lock Screen Style

Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.

Request: a type of screenlock

I was looking at the screenlock app from the xda front page, and toyed with it a little, however, it made me wonder if anyone knows of, or can make an app that disables everything put the dialer?
I hate letting my kids use my phone because I never know what they are gonna snoop thru or if someone is going to send me something I wouldnt want them to see, it would be great to be able to lock out everything but the dialer in this type of situation... any thoughts?

You can use an app that locks out other apps. That way you can lock the apps you don't want your kids having access too, then disable SMS notifications and they will never read them or see them.

If i just agree with them this is the outcome i come up with. As you can see my quick toggles completely dissapear. Also i know i can swipe it away but it keeps returning.

Im pretty sure you disabled it somehow yourself.
And the Terms ans service spyware, are you joking?
No im not joking i agreed to it when i first got phone and had to call with issues charging and the tech was able to tell me what apps im running on my phone. And its not something i clicked to remove toggles i simply agreed then swiped down status bar and i watched it dissapear and turn red.

[Q] Lockscreen effect

Hello all,
I have the AT&T Note 4 and when I first set the phone up, I was able to select a lockscreen effect. However, I can't seem to find where that setting is located, and I'm looking to change the effect. Is there any way of doing this short of wiping and restarting?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the quick reply. That location is also where I thought I'd find it, but I don't see an option for it. Attached is a screenshot

It would seem that you do not get an unlock effect while using fingerprint unlock. As you are not swiping the screen

Huh, you're right! If the phone was unlocked, then I got the effect, but when it was prompting for the fingerprint, then I didn't get the effect. Temporarily switching to "Swipe" exposed the option to change the effect.
Thank you!
Your welcome!
