Isn't this AOSP? Have it on pixel
Yeah, I've got it on my fairphone
I had this enabled, but i never figured out you have to tap the app icon to bring up a menu... Nothing else that i can think of works like that in Android.
This is neat, i didn't know about it.
The article gives the example, though, of giving your phone to someone you specifically dont trust. The most dramatic example is an insurance card or ID to the police when you get pulled over. The best answer there is just dont ever do it.
This pin setting says the security on it is pretty weak and to not give it to people you dont trust.
