With the upcoming nothing os 3.0 update coming up, I think it would be a good idea to make it require a passcode to shutdown the phone whilst it is locked.
Same should apply to use the quick settings tiles. Of course this might affect someone so this should be added as a toggle.
Dear team,
When are you going to launch lockscreen password to switch off ? It’s a loophole that every user fears while theft of phone. A YouTube channel too spoke on the topic as needed in their recent video. Pls do launch it as it is much required feature.
Need to add features when we switch off our phone, it’s need to insert password
and suppose your phones battery dies…. what you yall will do?
Ask password during Switchoff the mobile for ensuring more security .
Ash on Nothing OS 3.0 beta there is a setting that allows us to disable swipe down for quick settings from the lock screen.
mafcarvalho thats present since OS 2.5 I think.
Anonymous297 oh really? Thanks for correcting me. I’ve never searched for that feature and maybe that’s why I only noticed it now. It’s actually a great security feature. Too many phone robberies end up badly (untraceable) because Internet connections can be disabled from the lock screen.
mafcarvalho I am not sure about the version number but yeah,, its been added around 2.4 or something
@palatinagavamsi I’m not sure when the feature of asking password while shuting down will come but I have a temporary temporary solution not sure this has shutdown feature or not.
How to get this :
•Open settings
•Take apps
• Find Google play services
•Scroll down to find app details and update the app to the latest version
•Now come to settings to find a new feature called theft protection
palatinagavamsi agreed. Nothing should provide this feature
This is a very important safety feature that needs to be on priority in the next updates. Recently one of my friends had his S24 stolen, I liked how the feature of unlock before power off prevented the thief from switching it off. He later rang the phone using google find my device and recovered it.
This is a very essential feature that Nothing needs to roll out on its next update.
Hello Nothing Community! Greetings!
Nothing OS is a feature rich OS and is getting better by the day. But one serious flaw is that while restarting or shutting down the phone from lock screen doesn’t require any password as of now. Which I feel is very much necessary and a must have. This would prevent thieves from shutting down the phone and user might track it.
