How to import contact from another child account without disabling Lockdown Mode in iOS 18.5?

How to import contact from another child account of same organiser without turning off Lockdown Mode? IOS 18.5


I need help with importing contact from another child account of same organiser. The contact was exported to a shared folder. file when opened showed contact information but sharing to contact app did not add contact.

After turning off Lockdown mode, it worked.

It’s very time consuming when I need lockdown security such as web browsing etc but have to remember turning it off when sharing between family members. IOS 18.5


[apple website doesn’t mention importing contact is prohibited](https://support.apple.com/en-hk/105120)

Thanks but I am quoting following advise from Apple website which I thought helps scam risk ( news around here recommending scam risk apps); Another reason is performance (media IMHO slows down my not-latest-model of iOS device). I would think Lockdown mode mitigate my concerns.

  • “Messages - Most message attachment types are blocked, other than certain images, video, and audio. Some features, such as links and link previews, are unavailable. 
  • Web browsing - Certain complex web technologies are blocked, which might cause some websites to load more slowly or not operate correctly. In addition, web fonts might not be displayed, and images might be replaced with a missing image icon.
