It would be nice if it were even easier. E.g a triple click of the power button — something that you could do with one hand in your pocket in less than a second.
- arkadiyt 8y agoThat's what it used to be (5 power clicks) before the iPhone X/XS - shame that they changed it.
- kkielhofner 8y agoIt's still five on my iPhone X. It defaults to going into some sort of emergency alarm with a blaring horn but that can be disabled in settings.
- Operyl 8y agoNot changed, still works on my Xs
- ryanmonroe 8y agoI don't think it's actually any more effort than a triple-click. "Several seconds" actually means 2 seconds, so you can basically grab your phone and squeeze for two seconds to disable Face ID. It's probably less obvious than a triple-click too, because there's no repeated clicking noise. Whether you're attempting to triple-click or hold volume + power you'll need a good grip either way, and you may be able to triple click in one second vs. a two-second hold, but I think the probability a literal second would make a difference is pretty low.
- quickthrower2 8y agoMaybe it can be disabled when Siri hears you being read your rights. That way you won't appear to be "reaching for something"
- Operyl 8y ago5 power button pushes on iOS still works.
