No my friend. Apple can also disable quick lockscreen settings. Only pixels no. Oneplus, samsung instead yes. I used cerberusapp to disable the shutdown button and then I'm using Power Shade (paid) to block toogles from lockscreen

my quick settings are locked i cant do anything swiping qs unless i put in my fingerprint, or pattern password,
im not totally sure what steps i took, but i disable most settings, it seems to be in there buddy

It depends on which toggles you have visible, in the settings there is nothing about it.
But do you have a rom installed?

stock a13
hmm perplexing,
sometimes all qs comes up and i can turn on flash etc
sometimes it goes straight to lock screen
only features turned on lock screen are; show devices controls "maybe bluetooth related", and always show time and info

I'd suggest to keep an eye on the phone and be careful to avoid such mishaps

use shortcuts with Pattern Unlock lock screen?

is it possible to have shortcuts with the Pattern unlock lock screen?
I would like to have shortcurts to the Camera and Dialer while still have security provided with a Pattern unlock.
Is this possible with a completely stock (no rooting no anything) S III on Verizon?
Or do I need to install one of those lock screen apps? I'd prefer to remain completely stock for now if possible..

If you had shortcuts of any kind, that would kill the security.........
I wish Google would implement their Touch Gesture Actions From A Device’s Lock Screen idea asap... providing shortcut functionality without sacrificing security would be better than those 3rd party lock screens.

Not sure about defining shortcuts. but i used pattern lock and if I hold finger on screen, rotate to landscape, then swipe pattern, it launches camera.
if i have a missed call or text there is a circle on the lock screen with the qty and if i swipe off that circle then enter pattern it takes me right to that app (missed calls or messaging).

I don't care about security for the camera or dialer.
I know there is the camera motion shortcut thing but I like the clickable widget better. I want to have the capability to define widgets on the lock screen like you can when you don't have any security. But I want it with the pattern unlock. I guess this is not available out of the box? And needs a special app?

I would like the same thing... you can get it on the standard swipe to unlock so why not the pattern lock... I have tried various lockscreens but their not without their flaw...
Widget locker.. has lots of customisation and you can add custom sliders and widgets but... its buggy prone to crashing and takes a fair bit of tweaking to be secure (ie if you dont select correct setting you can unlock with just the home key) , sometimes have to unlock twice and it always request superuser access even when the phone is in standy ... so drains battery more than it should.
Go Locker - didnt like this at all just didnt seem secure... first version could be bypassed easily... plent of themes though if security is not a priority.

How to disable Control Center access from the Lock screen on android

Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE

Huawei disabled that feature from the last couple of updates for all devices citing privacy issues.
Do you know if there is any way of getting around that, is there any third party software that could re-enable expanding notifications on the lock screen - it's one thing I really miss having just upgraded from a Nexus 5X!

Yea i have novalauncher but it doesn't affect lock screen. i think you need lockscreen launcher but I don't want to change. Huawei should give the option in lockscreen settings
If you have face unlock enabled, go to settings - security - face unlock and disable smart lock screen notifications
Honor\huawei has indeed screwed this up. faceunlock or pin or etc is not the problem.
The problem is at lock screen, you can see a notification for whatsapp
If it is just a single message, you're fine. You can read it.
But if it is multiple messages or multi line, you can't, as it only shows amount of messages notifications, and the FIRST line of the message.
You can't expand the notification to read the rest. You end up having to unlock and go into whatsapp to read it.
*Sometimes you just want to read the messages, without ending up showing yourself last online in WhatsApp........
Ifyou have enabled face unlock and swipe to get to the launcher you can press the power button, the phone will recognize your face and then you can pull down the notifications.
Same if you want to skip a song at spotify etc.

Can't. It doesn't work.
Steps.
1. Press power button or lift phone to start face unlock
2. U can see whatsapp notifications on the lock screen, but they are grouped up. Meaning, can't expand to see contents
3. Face unlock recognizes your face. You can now able to slide to unlock
4. Still, the notifications can't be accessed or expanded to read full content

The same issue here. My wife's Honor 10 after customization completely lost lockscreen notifications and camera shortcut too. I spent long time trying to solve this in notification settings but failed- non app like default SMS, WhatsApp or Messenger displays notification on lockscreen. Do you have any advice please?

Hello. Notifications currently aren't working with custom lockscreen themes. Devs from honor said it was for higher security. I hate to say that the only way to see notifications on lockscreen is to change lockscreen theme to default, just lockscreen is enough though, you can keep other things like icons etc in whatever theme you want. I personally hate the clock being at the bottom of screen but there is no other way for notifications to show up properly atm. I also tried custom lockscreen 'launchers' but they're bugged. Hope this helps.
Tested working on Huawei View10, You can enable full message content on lock screen by going to phone settings > security & Privacy > Face Unlock > and disable "smart lock screen notification". These seem to be a bad description on Huawei part because you would think this turns off notifications on lock screen but it only limits the content on lock screen for security purposes. The only time i need to expand my messages on lock screen is when phone is sitting on desk and i don't want to lift the phone to unlock it in order to read my notification. Lock screen notification can be set for apps separately. Hope this helps.

Question Security issue: turn off wifi/data/cellphone while locked

If someone steals your phone, they will immediately turn off wifi/data services and then turn off cellphone
I've just realized I can do both without needing to unlock. In case of a theft I will be unable to use the android device options to clear the phone memory.
Do you know if there is any option to block these functions while locked? I can't find it anywhere.
Unfortunately there is no option to block access to quick tiles while on lockscreen. It's one of least secure phone which I had since few years, even if they claim differently.
The solution I'm using is:
Use app called Shortcutter which let you put wifi icon in quick tiles and block access to it while on lockscreen. Not all options works as should but it's one solution.
I disabled all tiles eg. gps, airplane mode from quick tiles as I'm not using them (gps, data always on)
Hope it will help
Thank you for pointing this out, I would take those options off the tiles and use them from the settings menu.
Just extra precaution in case you lose or someone steals your phone.
Does someone know how android 12 custom Roms behave in this topic?
GrapheneOS asks you to unlock the phone when you press the Airplane mode tile, for example.
protonaosp also asks you to unlock the phone before disabling internet
Thanks for both replys! Now I have an other reason to try GrapheneOS
What iv done I didn't notice it tipp this post iv removed the settings from the tile qmd then did a shortcut on home screen to settings then internet works ok that way can confirm it's the same on a pixel 6 pro and a pixel 4a to
It looks like all custom roms support this security on lockscreen. I'm using Evolution X rom (unfortunately discontinued at this moment for pixel 6/6pro).

My settings don't allow me to enable my Screen lock icon

... although I do have a Screen lock in place --see screenshot. When I click on it, it doesn't turn on.
My guess is because the hacker makes me BELIEVE I do have a Screen lock on but actually I don't.
What can I do?
