Lock down mode

MsVirgo87 · Sunday

I noticed when powering off the phone now we have something called lockdown mode, Does anyone know what that does exactly?

Aside from the screen shot of the explanation, lockdown mode should be used when going through airport security (use paper boarding passes and physical ID), as you cannot be compelled without a warrant to unlock your phone with a password, but you can be compelled to use your biometrics to unlock the phone. Even if you have nothing to hide, law enforcement (or quasi law enforcement) should not have access to your device on a whim. When in lockdown mode, the only way to access your device would be to input the password or pin - biometrics won't work. You do not have to use this feature, it's just there to make it easier to activate.

This is not new, been a thing since Android 9 in 2018.

It's new to me cause I never ever had that on my phone when powering it off, I checked my boyfriend phone and it's not on his phone so Idk what you're talking about saying it's not new

It's not a new feature. It use to be located in the settings. Its just located in a different place. Robin621k is correct.

Well like I said I never ever seen it on my phone before, This is my first time seeing it on my phone and I definitely never seen it in the settings

You had to turn it on in settings, it's been so long I don't remember where the setting is.

Go to settings, Lock Screen and AOD, Secure Lock screen settings, it's there.
