    They can… or could, on rooted phones. Apps like Tasker have a root mode module that can do pretty much anything. Haven’t used it for a while, though.

      Running tasker on a unrooted Fairphone 5 There is a function “System Lock” which locks the phone so you have to enter the PIN. I created a task and a widget on the home screen that triggers the task

      I did give tasker some extra rights via adb, which is a quite straight forward process. I think the dev even has a guide for it…
