How to jail break your iPhone
Jailbreaking means to gain the ability to install custom third party apps of your iOS device in more technical terms ! IOS devices have a strict DRM (digital rights management) which is a set of access control technologies for digital copyright. It’s main purpose is to prevent and restrict unauthorized use, modification and distribution of any copyrighted works such as software.
Jailbreaking is a term used for the process of bypassing any DRM restrictions put in place by Apple on their product! This process is illegal however .
Before explaining to you how to jailbreak your iOS 12 iPhone I’m going to explain a few basic things and answer a few questions that you’ll need along the way :
Who created this Jailbreak?
A team of hackers by the name of pwn20wnd, who succeeded in making a software called Unc0ver that helps jailbreak any iOS 12 device.
Why would you jailbreak your phone?
You will have full control over your phone and you will be able to tweak every component of it if you don’t like it .
It makes you feel like you’re on a whole different level from other iPhone users! You’ll still be using the same hardware but you’re tuning the software to your taste.
There are so many ways you can Enhance your iOS experience with Jailbreaking! You can use awesome themes, improve the responsiveness of your phone, add widgets to your customizable lock screen, or download modified apps and the list goes on!
The best place to find the latest news and tweaks is the Jailbreak Subreddit.
Apple gave us this beautiful hardware but they did nothing with the software to support it , there’s no dark mode, no always-on display , no custom notification, no patterns or animation to take advantage of the display. They’re not using their hardware to it’s full potential and this is what Jailbreaking is here to fix!
If you own an older iPhone you can get an extra 110% out of your device with a tweak like HomeGestures that allows you to get the whole iPhone X UI , it will feel like it’s brand new again. It absolutely transforms older
phones and it will extend their life span further.
How do you install unc0ver?
You have two ways – the first one is done through your PC with Cydia Impactor, and the second one is done through their website directly from the browser of your phone.
Will the jailbreak work on my device?
This jail break will work on the following devices:
- iPhone 6
- iPhone6s plus
- iPhone7
- iPhone 7plus
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8plus
- iPhone X
- iPad Air 2
- iPad Pro
Important : you need to be running iOS 12; the Jailbreak won’t function on any superior version of iOS !!!
Advice before attempting to jailbreak your phone
Save all your data via iTunes on your PC before starting (jailbreaking is unauthorized by Apple, so we strongly recommend you to keep all your precious data in a safe place).
Now that we got everything out of the way let’s get to the good part .
How to jail break your phone
- Step 1 : Go to jailbreaks.fun on your browser
- Step 2: download unc0ver
- Step 3: Install the app
- Step 4: after installing the app, your phone is going to tell you that the developer of this app is not approved, and it won’t let you run it.
All you need to do to bypass this is to head to Settings – General – Profile, and set Khodal Entrepises as trusted.
- Step 5: Open the application and click on the Jailbreak button (your phone might turn off a few times while jailbreaking). Just make sure to let it continue, and make sure that airplane mode is on and Wifi is off.
- Step 6 : After your phone is jailbreaked a new app is going to appear on your device(Cydia) where you’ll find all the apps and themes that you need. Cydia is basically the illegal App store that has all the pirated apps you want for free in addition to useful tweaks and themes.
- Step 7: Enjoy your jail-breaked iPhone. 🙂
