How to prevent someone from being able to turn off the iPhone (Dummy Option)
We hope you share this as much as you can so that it reaches Apple and implements a small option that can come in handy for all of us. It would surely be one of the iOS features most activated by all iOS users.
Surely many times you have wondered why it is impossible to configure our iPhone, to prevent someone from turning it off. This is very recurring, especially when we think that it can be stolen from us or we can lose it.It would be very useful if our device was turned on to be able to search for it with the "Search" app and go to recover it.
But unfortunately that option isn't available and, whether it's lost or stolen, anyone in possession of the iPhone can turn it off and thus It would make us lose track of it and impossible to recover it.
How to prevent someone from turning off your iPhone:
iOS should add an option in your Settings, which might give you the option to turn off the device by verifying ownership. This would be possible by requesting a verification by Face ID, Touch ID or password, as soon as we press the option to turn off. The iPhone would verify our identity and shut down.
Face ID
In case of not being able to verify it, the device would not turn off and, in this way, it would prevent the shutdown and guarantee us to be able to track its position to be able to recover it.
In these cases, we recommend reporting it to the police beforehand and that they be the ones to recover it in order to avoid possible conflicts.
Why doesn't Apple implement this option?
From what we have been able to read, they have not applied it because every device must guarantee a shutdown. That is why those of Cupertino have not applied it yet.
But we think there are quite a few ways around the issue. An emergency shutdown could be guaranteed, without verification, in which geolocation can be left activated to be able, in case of theft or loss, to guarantee its tracking.
Hopefully this reaches Apple and allows us to enjoy that feature that, sure, we are all waiting for.
What do you think about it?.
