To make this clear to everyone:

Duress PIN/Password will work anywhere where the device credentials are requested. NOT JUST THE LOCKSCREEN.

Anywhere in the OS where the PIN/password is requested (enabling developer options, a PIN prompt to unlock an app, confirming your PIN to change the device's password, anywhere) can trigger the duress PIN.

The only exception is the SIM PIN prompt, since that's a different PIN, but we will likely extend it to that screen too, to try and avoid any confusion.

    I'm sorry but I'm completely confused as how to even enable this? Apparently I'm up to date.. I'm probably just being blind!

      mmmm the release is in the alpha channel now, so to get the update you have to first change the release channel at Settings > System > System update > Release channel

        other8026 ahhh right understood. Thanks! I'll wait then I think, everything is working well with my install and I dont want to jepodise that. I'll wait until its released into beta.

        If you execute the duress feature, does it basically fully reset the phone back to a graphene os flash.....but also wiping the esim?

        Or is it more than this ?

        mmmm You could file a feature request with Google and ask them to produce hardware that supports the OS being able to cause the device to immediately explode. 😜

          GrapheneOS I'm very excited for the duress feature! What do you think about putting a little label with the duress PIN on the inside of the phone case in case some nosey person thinks they can just access ones phone?

          I also read that Google is planning a Theft Detection Feature for later this year: "Theft Detection Lock is coming later this year and helps you keep your personal and financial data safe if your phone is ever snatched from you. This powerful new feature uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away with it. If a theft motion is detected, it will be quickly locked down to keep your information out of the wrong hands."
          Do you think it will find its way into GrapheneOS? It uses Google AI, so I'm not sure how this would work. I've been using Private Lock for some time, but it hasn't been updated for quite some time.
