However, a TikTok user has posted on the platform a trick that prevents the phone from shutting down unless a default password is entered. This way it could be located quickly if the tracking function is activated.
The trick in question uses the accessibility options of iOS 15 to prevent the off button from doing its job without first entering the key created by the true owner. This trick is very simple and here we show it to you.
How to stop thieves from turning off your iPhone

Tap Done and then tap Start. Enter an easy-to-remember code. Then check it to finish the setup. When you want to disable this function, press the side button three times, enter the password and click on End.
