I continue to find Lockdown mode frustratingly insulting. Just give me the individual options (too) darnit.

Like "No facetime and message attachments from strangers, no link previews, no device connections", yes, please, I don't want dickpics from strangers.

"No javascript JIT or shared photo albums" no, I actually do want to be able to see friend's albums, and also want my battery to last longer due to optimizing JS.

How hard is it to keep the Lockdown Mode toggle, but also add "no link previews, no facetime calls from strangers, never join insecure wifi networks automatically" as separate option toggles I can turn on if I just want those?

Lockdown mode could be life or death for some users. Adding toggles and partial states increases complexity and risk.

		Okay, if it's that serious than apple should simply turn it on for everyone. Having toggles for Lockdown mode adds complexity and risk. The number of users who currently know they need to toggle on lockdown, and would be confused by having toggles under it like "Disable JIT, Disable link previews", etc, is approximately 0. The number of users who would turn on "disable link previews" and be more secure, but won't enable all of lockdown, is at least me, so that's more than 0. By that logic, it follows that splitting it out makes more users more secure, right? Let me know where I'm wrong there. Do you legitimately think that there's risk of users knowing they need lockdown mode being unable to find it if there's additional settings added? I guess apple can't add any new settings anywhere. Do you think that more settings means apple is more likely to introduce a bug that impacts security? I guess apple shouldn't be allowed to add any new settings anywhere.

		Perhaps it's time to acknowledge you probably don't know what another persons situation is. Instead of trying to tell them what to do, allow them to choose.
