For all those who may be wondering "Hey Siri, who's phone is this" will lock it as if you had just booted the phone. This then requires the full pass code and not just a face scan or finger scan.

Unfortunately I don't know the equivalent for Android.

It's pretty simple, you throw it as hard as you can at the ground.

Android has a lockdown button when you hold power button, which is like as if you just rebooted it. Imo though, just shut it down to begin with. Additionally, my sim card is password protected so that's an additional password to get by.
