For iOS. You can just hold down the lock and volume up button and it will require your passcode. 5x lock works too but I feel the former is easier.

You can show your wallet with your phone locked. Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Allow access when locked > Wallet

For Android:

  • Open Settings
  • Search for "Lockdown"
  • Select "Show Lockdown option" from the results, or the result that most resembles that.
  • Enter your pin if required.
  • Tap the associated slider to enable Show lockdown option

 

Now when you hold your power button, you get a "lockdown" option that disables biometrics and forces you to enter your passcode for the next unlock.

Particularly useful for me, as I have my phone set up to always be unlocked if my watch is close enough (maybe stupid of me), but I can force lock it at any time.
