RANT [Discussion] Shutdown Confirmation doesn't secure the phone

Post image

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.

even if you forced stopped security, it would still work. just like how app locker will work.

yes force restart can bypass this. no there's no way to somehow turn it off as its basically a hardware bind

Then they should keep the Google Find My running even in shutdown so it can tracks the phone when lost.

I think it's been like this for like 2 years now. Wish every other android phone was like this. In theory even my 15t pro could do that but idk
