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.

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.

Jay

mafcarvalho thats present since OS 2.5 I think.

Ash

mafcarvalho Oh damn I didn’t see this until now, nice, now they need to prevent power off prevention while phone is locked, unless that feature also exists now..

mafcarvalho

Jay 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.

Jay

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

BassimBinYoosaf This feature is useless if someone switches off the phone after they steal it. If they switch it off, then we can’t track our phone.

Password to switch off phone must be a mandatory feature and it’s still missing.

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.

I think there should be a setting that asks for security password to power off the phone when it’s locked. Just like in Samsung galaxy and oppo phones.
