Example of why you should not use FaceID to unlock your phone, this time from Norway: in 2022, a 28yo man filmed a uniformed police officer assault his two 26yo friends. The officer took his phone, turned it towards him to unlock it and deleted the video. https://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/i/8J7A5w/politivolden-i-kongsberg-dette-vet-vi

Pro tips:

1) You can quickly disable biometrics on iPhone by pressing the sleep/wake button 5x (disable ‘call with 5 buttons’ under Settings -> Emergency SOS to prevent iPhone calling emergency services when you do this).

2) you can (unless you’ve disabled it) access your camera from the lock screen and record pics/videos without having to unlock first.

3) Have photos turned on for iCloud and images and videos you shoot get uploaded, hopefully faster than a LEO might destroy a phone.

@Sonikku @runasand @cstross 1 and 2 are excellent tips, but I would like to note that by default if you delete something from an iPhone it will also be deleting from iCloud and other devices.

@glindsey @runasand @cstross true, but if you’re recording from the lock screen camera shortcut you can’t get to the deleting without authenticating first
