Hi, I'll explain my question through how whatsapp does it. When the phone is locked then whatsapp routes call through apple's native callkit When unlocked, pressing accept essentially redirects to whatsapp and then whatsapp handles the call from there. However, this component of unlock detection is what I'm not able to find any info about. Essentially, how i do it is: let isPhoneLocked = !UIApplication.shared.isProtectedDataAvailable isProtectedDataAvailable == true → device is unlocked isProtectedDataAvailable == false → device is locked The problem is that if the phone has been recently unlocked, then protected data is still available on the phone even after the lock for the next 10-40 seconds. So theres a false positive. I want there to be a foolproof and robust way to do this. And I'm not entirely sure how
