    GrapheneOS has an option to scramble the numbers on the unlock screen. I don’t know if that’s a base android thing or available on IOS

      Correct. Not sure about iOS either, but many custom roms can, e.g. divestos, probably resurrection remix used to have it back when it was a thing (not sure here, but I distinctly remember having this feature somewhere before graphene)
