On my pixel 6 I see this. I have no idea what this is or what it does
Edit 2:
"When you put the phone into “Lockdown,” it disables all those less-secure unlock methods. The fingerprint scanner, face unlock, and Smart Lock are completely disabled. Only the PIN, pattern, and password can be used. "
Power+volume up > lockdown
Thanks for the reminder
Didn’t work for me
You have to keep them pressed until the turn off screen appears, then just cancel the turning off
Is this an iPhone or Android thing?

I assumed android because we’re on lemmy but I bet it’s an iPhone thing.
I’ll stick with power off or reset since that’ll force a pin.
Power and volume up for me shows a lockdown button so it’s either android or both.
So tempting just to reply ‘yes’ :)
But it’s iPhone at least.

Not for me. Turn off screen only appears after holding power down for a second (and gives lockdown option). Power+vol up does nothing.
What iPhone you have?
None at the moment, meant on Android. At the time it wasn’t clear what platform they meant.
This is extremely dependent on what phone you’re using
I think it’s pretty much every modern android, no?
This has been a feature on my last pixel phones as well as my latest Sony android phones
Doesn’t seem to do anything on my samsung phone, but maybe that’s because I don’t have biometrics on
Huh, perhaps Samsung just changed the button combo as they’ve been known to do? 🤔
