I didn’t know android could do that. I wanna turn one on! But, I can’t find it. I’ve looked under Security and Privacy. I have a pattern to get in (they can physically force you to unlock your phone with fingerprints), no facial recognition, and my security and privacy is all green checkmarks. I’ve tried to find it under my Samsung account’s security stuff. Its not there. It doesn’t even show up when I search for it on the settings search bar. What am I missing?
I use Android 16 and have OneUI 8.5.
Reason.comAppeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phoneThe 9th Circuit determined that forcibly mashing a suspect's thumb into his phone to unlock it was akin to fingerprinting him at the police station.

This is a GrapheneOS feature.

Oh, so its a different operating system or something?

GrapheneOS is a custom fork(? Correct me if I’m wrong) of Android that retains most of the features but has a private and de-googled experience.
i’m dumb but i installed it on my pixel last month and it took about an hour and they walk you through it on the website :)
i couldn’t get google messages working but in the end i realized i dont really care about google’s propriatary rcs implementation and just use fossify messages and signal/fluffychat for other chats.

Oh yeah I want to get something to replace my P7P at some point and put Graphene on it for sure.
