    Face unlock on the Pixel 8 doesn’t compromise on security.

    Try saying that after a cop unlocks your phone by holding it up to your face (legal btw)

      iPhones can enter a lockdown mode with a couple button presses, I’m sure android can do it as well.

            Power button + volume up (you can change it in settings)

              Yup, mines set to power button because I would never invoke assistant like that

      There is a lockdown mode or something in the power menu that should disable biometrics until the next unlock with pin/passcode

      Not defending the companies, just something to be aware of if you see a cop coming towards you in the distance
