I am writing to inquire about a security feature in Nothing OS. Specifically, I would like to know if there is currently an option to require a password to power off the device.This feature would enhance the security of our devices by preventing unauthorized users from turning off the phone, which can be crucial in situations where the device is lost or stolen. If this feature is not available, I kindly request that you consider implementing it in a future update of Nothing OS.

Problem:- My phone was stolen and he switched off my phone right after it so that I can’t locate it anyhow. He might have wiped my phone later nd I never got my phone back.

Suggestion:- NOTHING OS team, can you put an another master pin or something which shall be required to switch off any NOTHING mobile for extra and robust security. We really need that. Thank You

Hi Team,

Please include password to switch off device because somebody on 18-Aug’24 pickpocketed my phone while boarding the bus and still it has not traced just because the person who stole it was able to switch it off.

I have registered the complaint at my nearest police station but they also made fun stating that this feature rich phone is lacking with one of the best feature which it needs to have.

And I’ve been facing alot of difficulties in my day to day activities with my Nothing phone.

I hope if you include password to switch off device feature then it will help nothing community people to have an additional feature to recover their device at the time of theft. Thank you

Regards,

Is there any way to enable this setting? If not, I think Nothing should include this feature in the next update, at least no one can easily powering off the phone 😭.

Their is no option for Password required for switch off. And while lock screen we can easily access the upper notification panel, so this things need to be change as it’s privacy and security is not enough. I am using nothing phone from last month and I am requesting please in the next updates add this features as this is very helpful for the users.

Thank you

Please add require password to switch off the phone in the next update
