- JBiserkov 4y agoYou are right. I incorrectly assumed that since `power` + `volume up` takes a screenshot, it wouldn't work, but I just tried it, and holding them for a few seconds does lock the phone too.
- cassianoleal 4y agoClicking power 5 times also seems to work!
- ascagnel_ 4y agoSimilarly, tapping the power button five times in close succession will put an iPhone into "emergency mode", which (a) brings up a screen with prominent buttons to call 911 or your emergency contact and (b) disables biometrics until the PIN is provided.
- NoGravitas 4y agoOn Android, this is (usually, vendors may vary) hold down `power`, then tap "Lockdown" on the screen. I do like the fact that on Apple you can do it without interacting with the screen.
