    On iPhones, if you have Face ID enabled, pressing the power button 5 times puts in lockdown mode. This disables the usb port, Face ID, contactless payments, and requires the 6-digit pin to unlock everything. I don’t know if android phones have something similar.

    It’s a neat trick for when you think you might get into a “situation”. Also, the cameras still work.

      Yes, you can enable a similar option on Android, which can be activated when holding down the power button.

        Power + volume up is usually how you do it I believe. Holding power down usually just activates an assistant.
