So I’m supposed to go into lockdown every single time? Fine, but don’t lock me out with FaceID so I can override it at least.
Apple needs to revisit that feature because that lockout could have happened at a critical time.
- stacktrust 2y agoWhat were the visible indicators that the phone had entered lockdown mode? It usually requires user consent, followed by reboot. iOS Lockdown Mode does not usually constrain the method of unlocking the phone.
- neverokay 2y agoMaybe I’m crazy? If you have an iPhone, enable faceid and put it into lockdown mode manually (I just remember it happening automatically). Tell me how you get out of lockdown mode.
- stacktrust 2y agoMy iOS devices are in lockdown mode 99% of the time. To disable lockdown mode, go into Settings > Privacy > Lockdown Mode, it offers the option to "Turn Off and Restart", then asks for a passcode. The behavior being described sounds a bit like malware. If it happens again, the best option is to Force Restart (VolUp, VolDown, hold side button until the device reboots), which cannot be intercepted by any apps which might be trying to simulate iOS system prompts.
