do your dirt on lockdown mode, be smart
I would run this mode all the time. I like!
Shut up Kamala.
Very good. Apple always on the ball. Thank you!
I’ve always dreamed of such a function
There should be a partial lockdown mode too to allow us to block only specific things.
Does this mode work against Pegasus?
Pegasus uses various exploits to get into the system. I can’t say for certain one way or another, but blocking things like iMessage attachments should, at least, remove some attack vectors.
Lmao great question
You might be surprised at how many people turn it on and just live with it.
Someone breached my data on the dark web, I’ll be keeping this on smh.
@Dee Jayy how do you access the dark web ?
@Adriana P no clue, all I know is that they can sell your personal information to people smh
@Adriana P use tor within a vm
Curious what a security reseacher’s take on this would be and if this would have any affect on an already compromised device and how many seconds it’s going to take for something like Pegasus to counter Apple’s measures.
@9to5Mac Can this feature be disabled or is a factory reset needed similar to a FIPS mode?
It can be disabled whenever you want. It just restarts the phone.
I will use this mostly on my iPhone wow apple did a tremendous job here
I really hope virtualization will still be enabled with this on.
How we become so attached!
When is the last time you left your phone alone for 24 hours?
I love this and Apple is a company that it is focus on privacy so I’m glad they are doing this and taking their users informantion serious and also taking their tech serious to make it private and secure always how it should be
They should add Samsung mode for those that like to run fast and loose with security.
I definitely will enable lock down mode! And no I am by far not a target for the Pegasus software. But I barely use iMessage. Here in Holland whatsapp is the way to app and maybe signal. Facetime I only use after making an appointment via whatsapp. The only thing I am not so sure about is how slow websites will load if JavaScript thingies will be interpreted instead compiled just in time….. But it makes me a lot safer online. So yes I for sure will enable this feature. So the thing I would like to see in a 9to5 mac video is the speed in which websites load with and without this lockdown mode.
whot a but dma eu EU lawmakers have agreed that the major messaging apps available in Europe will have to “open up and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms.” In other words, Europe wants an iMessage or WhatsApp user to be able to send messages to a Signal user, or any other combination of apps you can think of.
I enabled it and leave it on 24/7. Doesn’t really seem to have much impact on my usability of the device.
It blocks ads for me. Stupid Adblock pro can’t block ads in google news
Im going to use it occasionally just to feel what it was like to use my old flip down 20 years ago
