@lorenzofb Italian activists hacked by the italian government had Android or didn’t have Lockdown Mode enabled, but even if they did, they would have been hacked anyway, because LM doesn’t generally apply to third-party apps.
It helps a bit in third-party apps in case the exploit uses iOS features like image decoding (LM only allows a handful of image formats) but it’s up to apps to detect LM and implement their own protections. I’m not aware of any app checking for LM status.
