Summary

Samsung's One UI 9 beta introduces Lockdown mode integration into the power menu on Galaxy devices. When activated, it disables biometric authentication and requires a PIN or password to unlock, power off, or restart the device. The feature was tested on the Galaxy S26 Ultra running One UI 9 beta 2, and it returns users to the lock screen instead of the previous app. This builds upon the Lockdown mode access available in One UI 8.5.
