iOS 16: How to Turn Off Lockdown Mode on iPhone

iOS 16 does not exist as of my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021, and Apple has not announced any plans to release an iOS 16 update yet. However, assuming you meant to ask about the latest version of iOS (currently iOS 15), here are the steps to turn off Lockdown Mode on an iPhone:

  1. Press the side button or the Home button (depending on your iPhone model) to activate the screen.
  2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the Control Center.
  3. Tap the Lockdown icon (it looks like a padlock with an arrow surrounding it) to turn it off.
  4. Enter your passcode or use Touch ID or Face ID to confirm the action.

Once you turn off Lockdown Mode, your iPhone will no longer require biometric authentication or passcode entry to unlock, and your notifications and incoming calls will no longer be hidden on the lock screen.

Note that Lockdown Mode is a security feature that can be useful in certain situations, such as when you need to quickly disable biometric authentication or passcode entry. Be sure to only turn it off when it’s safe to do so, and consider using it again in the future if you’re in a situation where you need to quickly secure your device

How do I turn off restrictions on iOS 16?

As mentioned earlier, iOS 16 does not exist as of my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021. However, assuming you meant to ask about the latest version of iOS (currently iOS 15), here are the steps to turn off restrictions on an iPhone:

  1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on “Screen Time.”
  3. If prompted, enter your Screen Time passcode or use Touch ID/Face ID to verify your identity.
  4. Scroll down and tap on “Content & Privacy Restrictions.”
  5. If the switch next to “Content & Privacy Restrictions” is on, toggle it off.
  6. If prompted, enter your Screen Time passcode or use Touch ID/Face ID to confirm the action.

Once you turn off Content & Privacy Restrictions, you will be able to access previously restricted apps and features on your iPhone. Note that this will also allow other users (such as children) to access these apps and features if they have access to your device.

If you want to enable Content & Privacy Restrictions again in the future, simply follow these steps and toggle the switch back on.

How do I get my phone out of lockdown mode?
