Years later, when people got used to sharing all kinds of data on social networks or stores, many people stopped worrying about how their information is being processed, and they seem to relax or forget about the dangers that this can pose.
A recent case occurred in Spain, where the so-called Pegasus Affair, a cyberattack that even affected the President of Spain himself, came to light. and it shows that it is possible to access our data if desired.
That is why, in the third beta version of iOS 16, Apple developers have added a new mode called “Isolation Mode”, which will seek to limit the incoming and outgoing connections of our iPhone as much as possible in search of the greatest possible increase in security.
This new mode will be a must-have feature that will allow users to greatly improve and increase their security. This feature is not recommended for the vast majority, and ordinary people are unlikely to need to enable this feature unless you think you might be the target of a cyberattack.
Apple says the new feature is for those who could be targeted by sophisticated digital threats.for example, private companies developing state-sponsored mercenary spyware.
Available only and exclusively in iOS 16 developer betas starting with iOS 3, this mode will officially launch this fall with stable iOS, macOS, and iPadOS.
Isolation mode will restrict certain apps such as Messages, web browsers, Apple services, wired connections, and profiles. This will prevent malicious software from being downloaded to Apple devices by protecting sensitive owner information and other data. This should also prevent criminals from controlling the device..
How to activate isolation mode?
The next steps are quite simple: in the case of an iPhone or iPad, we will have to go to “Settings”, “Privacy and Security” and at the bottom, in the last option, we can find the desired isolation mode.
In the case of using a Mac and obviously with macOS Ventura installed, we must go to Settings, Privacy and Security and we will also find the mode among these options.
Using this mode can be very interesting for people from confidential information companiesjournalists or people who deal with such important data that they cannot risk losing even an iota of this information.
