3. Scroll down to the Feedback section.
4. Depending on your current settings, tap Screen lock sound to enable or disable this option. When the checkbox next to this option is checked means the screen lock sound is enabled and your phone will play a sound when you're locking or unlocking the screen.

Method #2: From the S Finder

1. On any screen, swipe down the top of the screen to open up the notification panel and then tap the S Finder button.
