On android phones, it takes a screenshot.

Just checked + updated my comment.

iOS also takes a screenshot when the phone is unlocked if you use power + volume up. Holding power + volume down hard locks the phone even when its unlocked

This puts android on mute. I guess place your non-registered finger on the phone multiple times for Android?
