I have an Android and don't have this option. Seems to be a manufacturer-specific feature.

It's supposed to be part of base Android 5.0+. There is a problem and workaround: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3199592/android-smart-...

Yep definitely not on my Xiaomi Android 10 phone. I can do the steps in Google Maps but that doesn't trigger the Smart Lock. Also nothing in my settings for Smart Lock. Oh well.
