    Hold down the side button and either volume button for two seconds until the “Slide to power off” screen appears, then tap cancel to lock it*. Alternatively, press the side/power button 5 times rapidly to activate Emergency SOS and lock the phone.

      Is this for iPhone or Android?

          This makes sense. Any time I see someone acting as though there is one type of phone, it’s an iPhone user. For example, only an iPhone user will recommend an iOS-only app because it literally never occurred to them that another platform exists.

        Power + Volume Down is screenshot in Android, so I’m guessing iPhone.

      Varies by phone. Pressing power 5x on mine dials emergency services.
