Instead of fumbling with your phone to turn on off biometrics just hold down the power button and reboot. Takes seconds and doesn't look suspicious.

Next unlock will force a pin and skip biometrics. At least on android.

    I just tried holding the power button down on my android and it doesn't reboot the phone. I think they got rid of that feature and replaced it with opening up the useless Google Assistant crap.

    You need to turn them off, not on. The police can force you open your phone with them, but they can't force you to use a code or pattern since that is proprietary.
