iPhone too. Press the power button five times and it goes into password only mode.

Holding the power + volume button also forces a lock, and is more discreet in that it doesn't make blaring beeps and call emergency.

the beeps can be turned off, though, so that's a good thing.

it depends on what phone you have. the key press combo is different depending on what model you have. the 6s+ is 5 presses of the power key, but that is a very conspicuous thing to do. other/newer models have a much more inconspicuous button press combo that could be done while "attempting" to hand over the device.
