Thank you. Wish there was a quick wipe app you could activate in an emergency. Maybe it would just activate factory reset or something. Tie it to a button or sequence of buttons
I’m pretty sure there is. If my phone is stolen, for instance, I can wipe it from my computer, presumably as long as it’s not been placed in a ‘Faraday cage’. In iOS there is a FindMy app which has an ‘erase’ function. I don’t know other phone OS’, but it sure seems that would be handy. And my Androidy friends would never let on that their OS wasn’t as cool or cooler than iOS. ;-)
First, one should always backup one’s phone on a regular basis.

I’m not vetting these links. I’m supposed to be working, so I better get back to that. :-D
GrapheneOS has this. Duress passcode. Type in the code and it wipes everything and shuts the phone down.
