    Most people lock their phones with biometrics which can be legally compelled from you.

    If you use a password you can refuse to provide it.

    If you’re living in a world where the police are willing to literally drug and torture you then your digital security requirements are beyond the scope of what you can get from social media and you should assume that everything you do is publicly known.

      Both iPhone and Android have ways to disable biometrics until the next unlock via password/code.

      Iirc, on iPhone, it was pushing the power button 5 (or 7?) times. On Android, long press the power button and select “lock”.

          Is it possible to setup this way;:

          1. One password gets into your first profile that is protected with a
          2. Duress passcode
          3. 2nd password/just fingerprint gets you into a 2nd profile, that is, everything you don’t care about…

          I haven’t tried graphene but thinking about it now…

      I use biometrics for apps and such, but not my phone. Having worked apple support, the number of people who only used their fingerprint and their phone was restarted for whatever reason leading them to have to know their password, which they forgot… is numerous.
