Yes, you can enable a similar option on Android, which can be activated when holding down the power button.

They mean to press and hold the power button. Which reveals this menu

Power + volume up is usually how you do it I believe. Holding power down usually just activates an assistant.

How do you shut down your phone? :)

nope. default android 12-13 is the screen above posted. Hold power for a few seconds and it'll pop up unless you've changed settings.

Default android is not what most people run. Samsung and Google defaults are assistant.

Google

nope. wife's Pixel 5a and my work pixel 3xl both do this on long power button.

On my Sony phone, holding power with the screen on brings up the power menu, which includes Lockdown mode.

Yeah I don't think that's the default on Samsung or Google phones. Could be wrong.
