With the latest iOS 17 update, this Lockdown mode becomes more secure. In iOS 16, Lockdown Mode needs to be turned on separately on each device. But in iOS 17, you have to enable it on all your Apple devices at the same time.

According to Apple, iOS Lockdown Mode is a feature that helps protect your iPhone or iPad from extremely rare and highly sophisticated cyber attacks. It reduces the attack surface that potentially could be exploited by malicious software, however, it also limits most of the functions and features of your device. So iPhone lockdown mode is not for everyday use.

Part 2: Should You Enable Lockdown Mode Or Not

When Lockdown Mode is enabled, some apps and features are limited or unavailable, such as web browsing, FaceTime, Shared Albums, and configuration profiles. You should enable Lockdown Mode iPhone only if you are at a high risk of being targeted by severe cyber attacks. Most people are never targeted by attacks of this nature, so you do not have to enable Lockdown Mode at any time.
