That's precisely what a duress password is for. Feature working as intended, get a warrant.

    it needs to be reworked so that it's difficult to discern to strangers if the phone has been wiped.

    it'll probably have to include fake phone logs, fake text messages, fake pics, etc. to make the wiped phone look like it wasn't wiped to everyone except its owner.
