Hands-on with iOS 16's Lockdown Mode, which aims to protect against highly targeted attacks by disabling link previews in messages, limiting FaceTime, and more

Here's what the new spyware-busting security feature does, and why it might just work  —  Lockdown Mode is a new Apple feature you should hope you'll never need to use. Tweets: @zackwhittaker and @msuiche Tweets: Zack Whittaker / @zackwhittaker : New: I tried out Apple's new “extreme” iOS 16 security feature called Lockdown Mode, which aims to protect at-risk users — journalists, activists, and human rights defenders — against zero-click government spyware. https://techcrunch.com/... @msuiche : Does anyone know if there are security researchers who broke this already? Given how long it takes for vulnerabilities to be fixed and disclosed, how relevant is such a feature when we have no visibility on if/how many bug submissions Apple received for this? https://twitter.com/...
