Pocket-Mode

If enabled, the pocket mode setting uses the mobile device's proximity sensor to disable touch gestures and block the screen, fingerprint scanner, and power button. Its purpose is to prevent misoperation on the touch screen while the device is in your pocket.

Tap Policy to select the device behavior when pocket-mode is triggered by the proximity sensor.
