Google Wallet now stores digital home keys for Aliro-certified smart locks — and the Pixel 10 Pro is the first Android phone to support automatic “unlock on approach” using Ultra Wideband. The feature rolled out Tuesday to users in the Google Home Public Preview program, with a full rollout expected in the coming weeks.

It’s off by default for security reasons, and requires both a compatible Aliro lock and a Matter-enabled Google hub acting as a Thread border router. Three Aliro locks are listed as supported at launch, no models named in the reporting. The key lives in the Google Home app’s household setup, not per lock, so one Wallet key opens every Aliro lock in the home.

Other household members can add it to their own Wallets. Keys sync across Android devices signed into the same Google account. Tap-to-unlock works with the phone locked and screen off, as long as it was unlocked within the past few hours. Users can adjust that window in settings.

Unlock on approach is limited to Pixel 10 Pro and later models. Wear OS watches aren’t supported. Google hasn’t announced when more Aliro locks or watch support will arrive.
