palatinagavamsi Unlock to Power off feature has been missing in nothing which is present in other Android phones. It’s a very big security feature that prevent others to switch off the mobile in case of theft.

Well, Apple does design this topic in favour of it’s customers -enabling tracking of iPhones even if turned off.

If I decide to switch off a device, I expect this to be directly executed. Mandatorily prompting for a password would just do once: interfere with my workflow.

    Need the feature of required password to power off and turn off the control panel access in lock screen (so if accidentally phone got theft also they cannot put phone in flight mode and neither power off the phone so we can track easily)

    Hello Nothing’s developer Team,

    I have came up with an idea to make Nothing Phone to make theft proof. Could you please add a feature requiring a password to power off your phones? This would greatly enhance security by preventing unauthorized shutdowns, ensuring that tracking and security features remain active, and aiding in device recovery if lost or stolen.This update would be a valuable addition to your already excellent range of features, providing users with an extra layer of protection.Rather than adding this to a bucket list of potential updates, I urge you to prioritize this feature and start working on it as soon as possible. It would significantly improve the security and usability of your devices.Thank you for considering this request!Best regards,

    -happy nothing phone user

      RapidZapper changed the title to Require password to shutdown option .

      Nothing should definitely add this feature in upcoming updates

      Till the time you can use a trick

      Go to settings >system>gesture>press and hold power button >select digital assistant

      This is actually a great a idea but somewhat nothing is failing in transparency of updates like roadmap features like what are the things that team is currently working on and what are in high priority list and what are in discussion otherwise what’s the point of creating this community platform, i get it why 2a marketing is important but there are plenty of things than 2a community edition, there are so many things which is still missing in nothing phone, YouTube community updates are great but still hard to picture what exactly next update will be about

      Why need too much, Google is already working on find my device to work even if the device is offline. Why can’t we just use what Google has been providing, and instead asking Nothing to add this that like want to turn it into MIUI or ColorOS?

      You add password to shutdown the phone, well then how about when the battery get drained?
