Apple's lock mode developed to "prevent iPhones from being hacked" has been hacked!

Apple's "Lock Mode" feature, introduced with iOS 16, turns out to be not so secure after all. Hackers have found a way to bypass this feature. US-based technology giant Apple released a feature called "Lock Mode" with iOS 16.

They can even create a fake Lock Mode. So while Apple may be confident in its feature, cybersecurity experts believe this is not the case.

The research also revealed the effects of Safari, the default internet browser on iPhones, on Lock Mode. The hacker can change the way Lock Mode works on Safari to make PDF files readable on the device.

However, when this feature is activated, the files should become unreadable. Let's see how Apple will defend the findings about Lock Mode...
