On a laptop it is relatively simple to maintain encrypted stealth "drives" within a logged in and decrypted system. Is there a way to "unlock" a phone that depending on the password given will present a true versus secretly sanitized version? For example if you login with password 1234 you get a sanitized version and if you log in with password xyz789 you get the full access. All of it done without a tell that the "full access" version exists.

    On Graphene OS there is a duress pin you can set which will wipe the phone immediately if it's entered. Although I haven't been able to get it to work in a way that i could open different profiles automatically by entering a different pin/fingerprint.

    BUT.

    My old Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 phone could do it. The phone had a "secure space" which was a separate environment with its own apps. I could assign different unlock fingerprints to it. So one finger would open the default environment and the other finger would open the "secure space", and it worked seamlessly without any delays in unlocking.

    I wouldn't choose Xiaomi for privacy obviously but it's just an example that shows it's possible.
