Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do
Restarting phone as well so the same thing
On iPhone, maybe Android too, you click the power button 5 times and you have enter the pin.
On my phone, it gives a 5 second delay before making an SOS call.
Ditto. That gave me quite the fright!
press and hold the lock button and select the option to enter lockdown mode. lockdown mode requires the PIN.
this might be an option in settings if yours does not have it enabled already.
Also, just going to the power off slider screen will force a passcode reentry.
