iPhone Lockdown Mode

iPhone fan? But want greater security? Apple’s always said its devices are secure. The new Lockdown Mode that’s coming soon will give you “extreme” protection, mainly aimed at those who have been a target of a sophisticated cyber attack.

At launch, Lockdown Mode includes the following protections: 

Messages: Most message attachment types other than images are blocked. Some features, like link previews, are disabled.

Web browsing: Certain complex web technologies, like just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compilation, are disabled unless the user excludes a trusted site from Lockdown Mode.

Apple services: Incoming invitations and service requests, including FaceTime calls, are blocked if the user has not previously sent the initiator a call or request.

Wired connections with a computer or accessory are blocked when iPhone is locked.

Configuration profiles cannot be installed, and the device cannot enroll into mobile device management (MDM), while Lockdown Mode is turned on.
