minus-squareRailcar8095@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·2 months agoMy work phone has enabled “wipe if pin is wrong three times”. I discovered after my son wiped it three times. I must though it was defective and asked for replacement
minus-squareCocodapuf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 months agoYeah, I think it needs to be “wipe if a specific pin is entered”, so you can wipe it only when you intend to.

Kids just have to play with it… I’ve almost done this on several occasions by locking my phone and putting it in my pocket while the screen was still on. Happened way too easily.
minus-squareHolytimes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoMy phone has that thing where it tries to detect a car crash and dials 911 and messages your emergency contact. Dropped my phone down some stairs didn’t realize it went off till the cops and fire department showed up… That was awful.
