Is there any public API apple provides to detect Lockdown Mode in iOS 16?

Hi,

I was testing the lockdown mode in iOS 16 and would like to know whether we can detect the lockdown mode status using any public API that Apple provides.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

When Lockdown mode is enabled, LDMGlobalEnabled default is set in NSGlobalDomain. You can query this with

let isLockdownModeEnabled = (UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "LDMGlobalEnabled") as? Bool) ?? false

Do not use undocumented user defaults properties as API. Such properties can and do change over time.

If you have a good reason to know whether Lockdown Mode is enabled, file a enhancement requesting a proper API for this, making sure to include an explanation of what you plan to do with it.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
