a duress password? What a neat idea.
I wonder if i can set that up on my iphone.
There isnt, for iphone
But you can set it up to wipe the phone after 10 attempts
I believe it’s only currently possible on Android. There’s Graphene’s built-in solution which uses a pin or password, and then there’s other android apps that can trigger the wipe if you get a text message with the code.
Reason n+1 to switch to GrapheneOS

Probably. The “Shortcuts” scripting language is actually quite functional if not well documented.
Probably a good project for vibe coding.
Definitely download the “Pulled over by the cops” one.
It sends a text with your location to someone, turns off your screen, and starts recording video.
