Heidi Li FeldmanProtesting at #NoKings tomorrow? Use this for your phone background.
Also, turn off face recognition, use pin only. #NoKings
-rb@heidilifeldman have an iPhone? 5 rapid thumb presses on right side button will disable Face ID / fingerprint recognition temporarily. No need to mess with settings, so it’s good if you’re in a hurry!
fogelnetThis works as well.
Hold the two buttons for 2 seconds.

What about still receiving SMS or notifications?
Aren’t notification services another way to track individuals that even phones touting privacy cannot prevent?
Steve@Chancerubbage @fogelnet @dashrb @heidilifeldman you can turn it off or use airplane mode if you’re concerned
Airplane mode is probably a good idea if you leave it on, so you don’t kill the battery. Being in a crowd, it has to fight with all the other phones to talk to the tower
@scm @Chancerubbage @fogelnet @heidilifeldman yes! There are many levels of security and they all have their own convenience trade offs.
Tech Note: airplane mode disables WiFi and cell traffic, but leaves your phone’s Bluetooth and NFC radios active. So you are still trackable, on a smaller scale (by line of sight / handheld trackers, as opposed to multi-mile-radius trackers.)
