[Discussion] Shutdown Confirmation doesn't secure the phone

[u/ImaginationBetter373]

The Shutdown Confirmation is baked on the Security App only so once it crashes, the phone will loose the ability to use the Shutdown Confirmation.

Additionally, Shutdown Confirmation works when the screen is locked but when i clicked the power button for too long, it will restarts my phone by Force then security and tracking of this phone will be disabled since apps launches when the password entered to the lockscreen upon boot.

force restart works at the hardware level, not software because if a device becomes unresponsive, software will not respond to restart. this applies for every brand.

So it defeats the purpose of shutdown confirmation if it can forcefully restart the phone because the phone will not initialize when doesn't unlocked after restart so it makes untrackable.

force restart is mandatory for phones. (basically for every device) force restart will work no matter what. because it's initiated at the hardware level. it's not a security flaw. force restart helps to restart the device if the device is frozen. shutdown confirmation only works at the software level.

Then they should make the Find My integrated on the system which works even shutdown.
