Screen Off

Turn off and lock the screen without violating the PIN unlock security policy.

Screen Off can be used to turn off and lock the screen of any Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), or heigher device, in a way that it can be unlocked without violating the security policy that requires a PIN to unlock.

That means that you can use your fingerprint to unlock your device, as you would normally do if the screen was turned of by pressing the hardware power key.

Screen Off can also be assigned to be the Assist App of your device and thus it can be activated by long-pressing the Home key.
