"Apple's Lockdown Mode: Safeguarding iPhones from State-Sponsored Cyberattacks"

Apple has introduced a new feature called Lockdown Mode for iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 16 or later versions, designed to protect against sophisticated cyberattacks. Signs that you might be under attack include unusual device behavior, unfamiliar apps or files, suspicious messages or calls, and unusual charges or data usage. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, certain features are restricted or disabled for security reasons. While it limits functionality, Lockdown Mode provides a strong layer of protection. Users can enable Lockdown Mode in the Settings app, and Apple recommends updating software, changing passwords, and reviewing iCloud settings for additional security. Lockdown Mode is intended for individuals at high risk of targeted attacks, but it can be used as a precautionary measure for anyone concerned about privacy and security.
