I noticed when powering off the phone now we have something called lockdown mode, Does anyone know what that does exactly?

It's on the 8.0 version not 8.5

Can confirm the setting is there on Ui 8.0. I guess you are not allowed to turn it on and off anymore.1778457569218.jpg

8.5 you don't have the option anymore to turn it off.

Yep, it has been there for awhile. I use it when going through security check points. Should someone lift my phone on the other side before I pass through, I know my data is secure.

Yep, new to you, but not new. Glad you found it. I think it a useful option.

Lock down ensures that open apps that are running are closed out also, not just a screen lock that turns the display off. I hope this helps in some way!
