The only similar thing I know of on Android is that 4 failed attempts with an unknown finger disables fingerprint unlock. So I can lock my phone out in a few seconds using my middle finger.


Android had lockdown mode but it has to be enabled.

This is perhaps off topic, but does this mean you put your phone in your pocket with the screen facing outward? I do the opposite, am I weird?

EDIT: I suppose maybe you meant when the phone was on a table or something


My fingerprint reader is on the back of my device.


In the power menu next to "power off" there is "lockdown".
