I use LineageOS with MicroG on my phone. If I quickly press the Power On/Off-button repeatedly it plays an alarm and dials a call for help. This is probably in all android versions, I don’t know.
I know biometric unlocking is dangerous, because it can be forced. But it’s incredible convenient 99,99% of the time. Wouldn’t it be rather easy to implement an option to switch off biometric unlocking when doing the emergency clicking? Or is there already another option? I’m sure I’m not the first genius to think about it.
You didn’t even mention what phone lol
On my non-modified Samsung phone, I press and hold the power button and tap the “Lockdown” option.
I had a Motorola (Android) Phone before and that was also the same.
On Samsung, the “Lockdown” button is disabled by default, you have to go into settings to enable the button. Idk how LineageOS works, maybe dig around in setting and see if there’s a “Lockdown” option you haven’t enabled?
