    That would be an interesting proposition… under duress load profile x and delete all other profiles, apps, settings and keys.

      Or maybe a lighter version of the duress pin that just loads the fake profile (or alternate profile) but leaves the other(s) intact.

      If you’re just handing your phone over for a border pig to swipe through before waving you through that might be adequate.

        Border pigs have cellebrite, assume they can access anything left intact.

        If it botherw you, wipe it, if it doesnt, you dont really need a duress pin. But login to one profile and cellebrite can get the rest.

        It depends on whether you believe forensics can recover the data when handed over. So make it a setting

          Yeah I was thinking of this as a half measure. But less secure than just wiping
