Experimental featuresEnhance your device's security by blocking the power menu, quick tiles menu, and notification shade on the lock screen. This feature automatically turns off the screen and captures pictures if unauthorized access is detected. Please note that this is an experimental feature and may not be compatible with all devices. CrookCatcher utilizes the accessibility permission to detect and control these elements on the lock screen. (Currently being rolled out.)
