This is likely a bad time to remind everyone that due to the way percentages work, a 10% drop requires an ~11% increase to return to the same value. A 20% drop requires an 25% increase:
100*0.8 = 80
80*1.25 = 100
100*0.8 = 80
80*1.25 = 100

On Android (double check your version by trying it), a quick reboot will usually require a non-biometric authentication. A quick hack if you feel you need it is to long press that power button and hit reboot. (Not sure about iOS)
If you’re at a protest and cops start getting agro and it seems like there might be arrests, make sure your phone is locked and that you’re not using Face ID or a thumb print (I recommend never using these).
But “don’t bring your phone” is generally unhelpful advice for most ppl at most protests
