Lock down mode

[MsVirgo87]

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

[MsVirgo87]

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.

[Robin621k]

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

[MsVirgo87]

Well I'll keep it on which I have no choice doing

[DogGoneIt1989]

It might have been new in the 2nd April patch.

Edit: turning it on for everyone!

[MsVirgo87]

Yes that is true

[Dan2023]

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.

[MsVirgo87]

Like I keep saying I never ever seen it on my phone before

[Dan2023]

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!
