      Security?

      This should not be a thing in the first place.

      What, you want a wide open device that anyone can pick up and read your private notes/contacts you jotted down?

      Please…

        Hmmm clearly youre the first person to think of that and it was not ever considered at any point in the design or development cycle.

        I wonder if theres any prior art to the android approach to lockscreen privacy… perhaps a “Camera” feature?

          Samsung does that, and it would be a surprise if Google didn’t follow roughly along the same lines.

          If you use a pen to write on the lock screen when it’s shut all the way off, the device saves the doodle as a new note.

      Probably because most phones don’t have stylus support. Then again, this is Android, so there’s not much preventing phone manufacturers from enabling the feature anyway.
