Lockdown Mode is an extreme protection measure designed to protect devices against highly sophisticated cyber attacks, particularly for those who might be personally targeted due to their profile or profession. Once enabled, it alters the functioning of a device to limit its attack surface by strictly limiting certain apps, websites, and features for enhanced security.


Available in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura, this feature affects several aspects of device use such as messages, web browsing, FaceTime, Apple services, shared albums, device connections, and configuration profiles.


Phone calls and plain text messages continue to function normally.
