Functions of iOS16 lock modeIntroduction

1. The lock mode function is an extremely strict security defense mode, which can provide users with high-level information security protection. The main application scenario is when users suspect that their mobile phones have been implanted with Trojan horses or unknown programs for monitoring.

2. After opening, security restrictions will be imposed on applications, websites, Apple services and other functions to better protect personal privacy. Prevent the mobile phone from being implanted into a Trojan horse or monitored by an unknown program. After the lock mode is enabled, the preview of image attachments and links in some iMessage messages will be blocked.

3. The new mode will limit the multiple functions of Apple's iPhone, but it will be able to defend against spyware and find vulnerabilities. This mode will disable wired connection, Javascript instant compilation function in Safari browser, prevent new configuration from taking effect, disable Apple service request, even FaceTime video call request, unless the user has actively initiated a video call to the initiator before.

4. This mode can also prevent attachments of most iMessage short messages, including link previews, but can display simple images, which can prevent "Pegasus" spyware attacks similar to those of the Israeli network security company NSO Group. Such attacks take advantage of the function of displaying GIF images, and can be triggered without users clicking on malicious links in the information.

5. When the iPhone is in lock mode, the security restrictions will cut off the wired connection with the computer or accessories. Most importantly, the installation of configuration files is prohibited. This is an installation function of applications that are abused to bypass the App Store.

6. The lock mode function will not be enabled by default, but can be viewed and enabled by going to "Settings - Privacy and Security - Lock Mode". For most ordinary users, Apple does not recommend activating the lock mode. It says that as long as users use it normally, the default security measures are sufficient to prevent most types of spyware and malware.

The above is the introduction of the function of iOS16 lock mode. It can be seen that it is still related to security issues and belongs to the nature of emergency. It is a very useful function upgrade for users who pay great attention to mobile phone security issues for special work.
