Apple's Lockdown Mode, offering heightened security, can now be enabled on iPhones and Macs to protect against sophisticated cyber threats. This feature limits device functionality to enhance data protection. Lockdown Mode restricts features like message attachments, FaceTime calls, shared photo albums, and certain Safari functions, while also blocking new device connections. It's easily activated through device settings and requires a restart. Designed for individuals facing significant security risks, Lockdown Mode is available to all users, though it may impact device usability. Users can customize it by excluding specific websites from restrictions.
