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".
I configured my Graphene OS to require both fingerprint and passcode to unlock. I also have a "duress passcode" that I can input to wipe the device.
Is it possible to setup this way;:
I haven't tried graphene but thinking about it now....
I have a 2nd profile for all the KYC stuff that I need.
