running in the foreground before the device was locked
For instance, the method only provides access to any app that was running in the foreground before the device was locked.
It also only works if a user has access to the Control Center enabled from the lock screen.
To gain access, users first need to have a missed call in Notification Center and access to Control Center from the lock screen.

can then launch any app and lock the device. The next step is to wake
the device and pull up Control Center, placing the device in Airplane
Mode.
