I find it so frustrating that Lockdown Mode is so all-or-nothing. I want some of the lockdown stuff (No facetime and message attachments from strangers, no link previews, no device connections), but like half of the other ones I don't want. Why can't I just toggle an iMessage setting for "no link preview, no attachments", or a general setting for "no automatic device connection to untrusted computers while locked"? Why can't I turn off "random dickpicks from strangers on iMessage" without also turning off my browser's javascript JIT and a bunch of other random crap? Sure, leave the "Lockdown mode" toggle so people who just want "give me all the security" can get it, but split out individual options too. Just to go through the features I don't want: * Lockdown Mode disables javascript JIT in the browser - I want fast javascript, I use some websites and apps that cannot function without it, and non-JIT js drains battery more * Shared photo albums - I'm okay viewing shared photo albums from friends, but lockdown mode prevents you from even viewing them * Configuration profiles - I need this to install custom fonts Apple's refusal to split out more granular options here hurts my security. | ||||||||||||||

The profiles language may be confusing -- what you can't do is change them while in Lockdown mode. | ||||||||||||||

Family albums work with lockdown mode. You can also disable web restrictions per app and website. | ||||||||||||||

>* Lockdown Mode disables javascript JIT in the browser - I want fast javascript, I use some websites and apps that cannot function without it, and non-JIT js drains battery more This feature has the benefit of teaching users (correctly) that browsing the internet on a phone has always been a terrible idea. | ||||||||||||||
