Yes, you can enable a similar option on Android, which can be activated when holding down the power button.
They mean to press and hold the power button. Which reveals this menu
Power + volume up is usually how you do it I believe. Holding power down usually just activates an assistant.
nope. default android 12-13 is the screen above posted. Hold power for a few seconds and it'll pop up unless you've changed settings.
Default android is not what most people run. Samsung and Google defaults are assistant.
nope. wife's Pixel 5a and my work pixel 3xl both do this on long power button.
Interesting. It's definitely a Samsung default and I thought it was Google default too.
You can obviously disable it by turning off Assistant but if that's not what you've done then there's more to it than I thought.
On my Sony phone, holding power with the screen on brings up the power menu, which includes Lockdown mode.
Yeah I don't think that's the default on Samsung or Google phones. Could be wrong.
I might have changed that setting. I don't like Google Assistant on my phone since it interferes with my Google Home devices.
How do you shut down your phone? :)
Power + Volume Up?
