Password to switch off the mobile

It would be more secure if the nothing phones ask for password before turning the POWER OFF. It would prevent the phones from turning off after theft. It wil...

I’ve been using the Nothing Phone-2 for the past 4 months, and it has been a great experience. 📱✨ I had an idea for an added security feature when powering off the phone. Implementing a biometric or PIN security check before shutting down the device could help track the phone if it is stolen 🔒🔑. Additionally, if a thief tries to crack the PIN and exceeds the retry limit, the phone could enter battery saver mode, focusing on location and GPS while closing other background apps to enhance the tracking process 🌍🛰️.

What do you think of this suggestion?

If anyone has other ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share! 💡👇

It is a must feature in every device which is lacking in nothing phones. I ve been using phone 1 for 2 years waiting for dis feature to be rolled out. I don’t know about other countries, but at least in India it is a must. Recently my friend’s phone 1 got stolen and they were unable to track since it was immediately switched off and one week later data has been wiped off without switching on the device. When u pay 30k for a device, u expect it to be in your control. There are talks about some anti theft features in android 15, but password to switch off is a basic update which will be very useful to consumers. Hope nothing takes prompt action in dis matter.

Anyone can switch on or off our phones without unlocking the phones, it’s a major drawback and a security glitch. Please provide an update to resolve this issue.

The phone shouldn’t be able to switch off/on without unlocking the screen. If a guest or thief want to switch off the phone, it shouldn’t allow him to do it. Untill the phone is unlocked.

Could you please explain how to configure phone 2a to prevent it from being powered off while the screen is locked?

There is no such option as of now. Many people have requested the team to add an option to have a password prompt to turn off device. Maybe it will be added soon.

If you are okay with not accessing the power menu at all, regardless of screen being locked or unlocked, you can select the “digital assistant” option for press and hold power button option from system gestures menu in settings. This will remove the power menu option entirely until you turn it back on.

I request nothing brand to please give us an update to prevent from power off .
Because when phone is stolen then the thief can’t able to power off the Nothing Phone.so that we can track there exact location.

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.
