    In Android, holding power and selecting “lockdown” locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you’re at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

    Can they force you to look at your phone though? Attention aware Face ID requires eyes ball on screen.

      Five quick presses of the lock button does this too, but beware as I think the default behaviour also starts a 3 second countdown to calling emergency services.

        Pressing the power and a volume button for >2s (the same combination as shutting down the phone) also disables faceID and does not call emergency services.
