Hi there are multiple iPhone tips to lock the drop down control / setting panel so it isn't accessible for thieves if your phone is on lock screen when stolen or locked 
How do I do this on the S24 
And any other tips for stolen or lost phones please 🙏

If you go to lost phone protection in settings-in there you have plenty of options to encrypt your data.

Secure Folder Maintain your privacy Keep sensitive data and content in a separate, protected area on your phone. Enhance your productivity Add second instances of your apps so you can use them in different contexts.

Enhanced data protection Protect your cloud data with end-to-end encryption. This ensures no one can access your data but you, even if there's a data breach.

In addition to this
Under Security and privacy
Go to Lost device protection,
theft protection and then turn on

Identity check Require biometrics and a security delay when changing sensitive settings on your phone.

Screen locking Theft detection lock Lock the screen if it's detected that someone took your phone and ran away.

Offline device lock Lock the screen if your phone loses its network connections. Remote lock If your phone is lost or stolen, you can lock the screen by entering your phone number at android.com/lock.

Thank you .
Yes took a deep dive into this section
Enabled all i can however when my screen is locked I can still pull down the control panel
Surely that permits the thief to turn my phone onto flight mode and then all my protections including find my phone won't work?

I'm not a techy , ( I like my phone for it's camera but really want to learn more ) I'm under the impression that's what they do
