Android lets you turn off all the lock screen security. Also before smartphones this wasn't even a thing, flip phones didn't even have a lock screen. Don't know if that's changed nowadays.



Sure they had, it was just not in frequent use. See page 75 of manual for SE T68i (2002) for example https://archive.org/details/manualsbase-id-62423/page/74/mod...


Neither of those sound like screen locks, they both mention it only happens when turning on your phone.


The Nokia 3210 had a screen lock although that was designed to stop accidental button presses.
