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.
Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services... the phone does not lock
