how many users are using lockdown mode

I’ve been using it for more than a year.

Parts of it are pretty inconvenient, like with iMessage and FaceTime not working normally, but aside from that it’s not noticeable for my use case.

Despite the inconveniences, unless animated emmojis are important to you I don’t know why you wouldn’t enable it given how strong its protections are.

Every day users? Probably not many. It forcibly disables lots of nice-to-have features.

But users who need a highly secure phone? It’s entirely possible to use the phone without media embeds in iMessage, or shared photo albums, or websites loading in 900 fonts. It’s a trade off likely worth making in some situations.

I’ve used it on my personal iPhone since the feature was released. The impact to my life has been minor. I can’t share some thing with my wife in the health app and my son can’t SharePlay with me in the car while I use CarPlay.

I turned it on, out of curiosity, and the impact is minimal, for me.

I was using it till the 26 upgrade on my iOS 13 Mini. Became very sluggish and unusable that I had to disable it. It clearly isn't tested well.

I turn it on when I travel overseas, and have considered turning it on when I’m near border regions in America.

It’s mostly that I don’t want to be that guy that leaks my company’s secrets.
