Yeah, I reportedly couldn't get into a Washington Reporter's iPhone because they had lockdown mode turned on. So I'm going to show you how to get to this part of the menu in the settings and turn it on as quickly as possible. The problem with lockdown mode, in my opinion, is that it just takes too long to get to. You have to go all the way down to privacy and settings in the settings, and then you have to go all the way down to the bottom of that, and then you have to click a few more things in order to reset the phone and turn that on. So what you can do is start a new shortcut in shortcuts, type in open URL, and then that is going to allow you to enter a path that opens the settings. So this is exactly what you need. I'll put it in the description. You can copy it, then you add that to where it's asking for the URL. And then when this shortcut is activated, it'll go to that exact part of the menu. So you can see right here, I click on it, and it opens up all the way down where it's buried in the settings. Now, once you have that shortcut made, depending on what device you have, there's a couple of other things that you can do. If you have an action button, I think an iPhone 15 or newer, you can set this button to activate that new shortcut. Or what I do is you can set a menu that pops up when you press the action button so that you can choose what you want to do from there. So if you put lockdown mode up the top, the first time you choose it, it'll ask you to, but it won't do that next time. And then it takes you right to it from the action button. So again, this is how you want to turn it on as quickly as possible.
