Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

If you have iOS you can disable it quickly by spamming the power button (button on right hand side of screen) 5 times.
Depending on your skin color, reaching into your pocket to do this may be punishable by immediate execution. Just don't use biometrics.
Depending on your skin color being pulled over is punishable by execution. It's an easy way to disable it while handing it over if you have that chance.
And when the cop has you a gunpoint with your hands in the air, and their accomplice pills the phone out of your pocket?
Well then you're fucked.
Maybe there's A thing you can tell Siri to disable Face ID.
Same with android
I did that, and it tried to call 911
I wish I read more of this thread first. In GrapheneOS it first opened my camera app and then attempted calling 911. Freaked me out so much cause I was relaxing in bed with my titties out. Also the setting is called Emergency SOS if you want to disable it.
For some android phones it's a setting. I have long press with an option for Lockdown and 5 click duress
Not sure what the difference is between my adroid locking when I just tap the power button one ane when I enter lockdown mode after holding the power button. They both get to tge same needing to put in a pattern to unlock.
For me its power + volume up
The thing with android lockdown is that it turns back off as soon as you unlock it. For something like going to an airport, I would go into settings and disable "use biometrics to unlock" under the biometric settings. Lockdown is more of an "oh shit" button, if you have the time to do it properly make it stick until you're safe.
Better to just turn the phone off if you're in the power menu anyway. On boot up the phone requires a non-biometric credential to decrypt it.
Android varies a bit depending on the software/manufacturer. It was added in Android 9 but some software releases remove it.
By default it is not enabled. You can search settings for "Lockdown", and then it will just be an option in the menu when you hold the power button.
Looks like it's now a permanent item in the power menu. (I just got upgraded to Android 17 and couldn't find it in settings, but it is on my power/reboot menu options already.) Thanks for the tip, I didn't even realize Android had this.
