Reasons to YES to jailbreak

iOS-8-Jailbreak-

Now that the situation with iOS 8.4 has become more stable, I can jump right in and tell you about a process as wonderful as the one known as "Jailbreak", in this article I would like to detail all the reasons that come to mind to motivate you to undertake this journey, and I call it this way because once you try the jailbreak, you won't want to go back.

Jailbreak is known as the iOS unlocking process, not of unlocking the carrier's phone, but of release the system from its restrictive cage, that cage that keeps iOS locked up, and that although it provides security also limits the possibilities of our device in a colossal way.

I want to open the article by showing you a video of a guy I follow on YouTube, a pretty good YouTuber in my opinion who always details and talks about issues related to Apple, on this occasion, EverythingApplePro presents you 25 reasons to jailbreak (in English):

Whether or not you have seen the video, now it is my turn to state the reasons why I am in favor of this process, I will divide them into sections:

Customization

Andora

Andora

Something that iOS users lack is the freedom to personalize our device, it is one of the main knives that Android users throw at us when comparisons between platforms explode. Despite that we should not think that iOS is not customizable, on the contrary, thanks to the jailbreak iOS is the most customizable operating system for smartphones that exists (at the user level), we can change any aspect of both the interface and the functionality of the system, all thanks to the best developer community out there, the jailbreak scene, people like The Time Loop who have created themes like the one you see above these lines, Andora, for me the most beautiful theme that exists (there are many), themes that we can apply through Winterboard, a creation of Saurik (developer of Cydia, which comes to be the center of the jailbreak, the rebel AppStore, where you will find everything you need to customize your device).

Functionality

Auxo

What do you think of multitasking in iOS 8? Let's be honest, it is insufficient, bland and very improvable. Precisely for these reasons, Auxo arrived, a tweak aimed at improving iOS multitasking by integrating it with the Control Center and adding the possibility of switching between apps or viewing the list of open apps with simple gestures from the edges of the screen, all very fast, comfortable and pretty.

However of this and other functionalities is Cydia full, We have the example of the video in which with SwipeSelection (a tweak that has been badly copied by Apple in iOS 9) we improve our keyboard skills in a colossal way, being able to edit text quickly and easily, with the same or even more precision than that provided by the iOS magnifying glass.

Limitations

handoff4s

IPhone 4S users, wouldn't you want to have access to the Handoff feature that has been reserved for the latest models? Devices like the iPhone 4S are able to support depending on what functions, functions that Apple blocks claiming that the hardware does not support it (which in some cases is true, but not in many others), because thanks to the jailbreak, iPhone 4S users will be able to use Handoff, iPod Touch 5G users will be able to take pictures while recording a video or use the camera's low light mode, iPhone 5 and 6 users will be able to have desktop rotation and dual menu apps that iPhone uses 6 Plus, and a long etc ...

Thanks to the jailbreak these barriers are broken, and the community behind the jailbreak is in charge of giving you what Apple denies you, as long as it is possible. Best of all, the vast majority of tweaks that allow these things are free, developers put a price on their utility tweaks or even themes, but those that remove limitations, fix bugs and so on are mostly free, and between € 0 or € 600 of a more modern device I think we all know what we are left with.

Security

Biosafety

With iOS 8 Apple released an API to be able to integrate TouchID into applications, but it did it wrong, or rather, it did not do it right at all. Several developers have used this API to protect their app against unauthorized access by requesting fingerprint reading before the app shows its content, however, it should not even reach such a point, Apple should have included the possibility of blocking apps in a way native so that when opening them it asks us to verify the fingerprint.

Since Apple didn't do it, the developers did, BioProtect is the best known biometric protection system available on iOSWith it installed we can block the opening of any application and even the activation or deactivation of radios such as Wi-Fi, Data and others.

Undoubtedly a very positive point for the user since they can leave their device to other people without fear that they will cheat the most private corners of the device.

iCleaner

But privacy is not the only security measure that jailbreak can provide, with jailbreak we can even install firewalls on our iPhone, contact blockers (black list), ad or content blocker, and even cleaning apps that delete files trash, ballasts or private files such as histories and others, freeing up precious space on our device and deleting unnecessary data that occupied a space that is.

Compatibility

Dualshock 3

With the jailbreak we can enjoy extended compatibility, from connecting the remote control PS3 to the iPhone with ControllersForAll until fully unlocking the use of Bluetooth to send and receive data, such as exchanging files with Android phones.

All this is possible thanks to the jailbreak and the incredible community of developers behind it, working like any other developer on the AppStore but focused on a very different audience.

Amazing apps

PPSSPP

Emulators (Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Advanced, Nintendo DS, PSP, of all kinds) of many consoles available in your pocket for free thanks to apps like PPSSPP, GBA4iOS, NDS4iOS and many more.

Recording the screen of your iPhone, playing games like Smash Bros Brawl and many more utilities are possible thanks to this process, the limit is set by your imagination or that of the developers.

Libertad

jailbreak

Best of all, what no one can blame an iOS user in the face is that our device is free, but not free as many of you will believe, when I say free I mean that you can do practically anything, use iFile to access the iOS file system, put pretty or horrible themes on it, install tweaks until the iPhone can't take it anymore, and all this for a simple reason, and that is because Apple did things right from the beginning, at worst the cases (the iPhone stays in the apple, it works fatal, the battery lasts 1 hour, I don't have space available, I want to update), whatever reason can take you to this step, and I mean the restoration.

In iOS if any problem arises we just have to put our device in DFU mode (by holding down the Home and Lock buttons for 10 seconds and then releasing the lock button and holding down the home button for 9 more seconds), and connect the iPhone to iTunes, in which case iTunes will recognize it as iPhone in factory mode and start the download and subsequent installation of iOS, returning to have your iPhone as functional and safe as when you acquired it, and erasing all traces of having gone through jailbreak.

And now through Cydia Impactor we have it easier, it is not necessary to even connect it to the PC.

Conclusion

All these and many more are the reasons why if you do not have the jailbreak done already, it should not take long, and more now as things are.

Because what they say is true the jailbreak world is not what it used to beNow it's better, now the developers worry about the appearance, updates and even the smallest detail of their tweaks, because although there is no analysis process like in the AppStore, we are the end users who based on what we see we will buy or not its tweak.

Not to mention how easy it is now to jailbreak, I remember a time when it was dangerous since you could leave your device unusable, the process was complicated since you had to follow a few steps and many times it could fail or you even needed the IPSW file of the iOS version you wanted to jailbreak.

Today everything is as simple as making a click, the programs are even beautiful, teams like TaiG and Pangu also care about the safety and comfort of the user by constantly releasing updates and making the jailbreak process as simple as possible.

If this article has convinced you, do not hesitate to stop by our guide and jailbreak to your device, you know, in the worst case you just have to restore 😀

    The tutorial is fine but those of us who already have official iOS 8.4 should put the tutorial on how to do it.

    1.    Sunny said

      There are already tutorials on how to jailbreak on this page, it's up to you to do a search.

    2.    Isaac Barrios Jimb said

      But if it is the same, download the taig tool, connect it, remove the keys and find my iphone and put it in airplane mode and give the jailbreak ok, that's all

    3.    Francisco Alberto Guerrero Bautista said

      I am already downloading the beta of iOS 9

    The Jailbreak community has made an important contribution to Apple's operating system, from iOS7 you can see its influence. Congratulations on your excellent work and dedication.

  5.   David Apothecary Delicate said

    Good article but you should specify that Auxo 3 is not compatible with the latest version of IOS 8.4

    1.    Rufino ruiz said

      It's true it doesn't work

  6.   Ta Juan-ta said

    Nowadays the worst is security, you risk a lot I was crazy about the jailbreak today it happened on the iPhone, however in the rest they are but with older and more reliable versions of iOS

  7.   Alex Torres said

    How is BioProtect going in ios 8.4 ..? It already works 100% ..?

  8.   saulpardo said

    Auxo 3 still does not work in iOS 8.3 or iOS 8.4

  9.   Xavier Arriola Hidalgo said

    You have to know what is done and installed with the jailbreak. Anyway, everything has a solution. Surely your iPhone could be left as new.

    Apple insists on not letting your iPhone put

    There are tweaks that should be real for Apple

    Sprintomice or auxo etz
    Auxo 3 is true, not supported yet

  15.   Isaac Barrios Jimb said

    When it is put in safe mode it is due to the failure of a tweak that you install, just delete it and everything will be fine again

  16.   Edgar Garcia said

  17.   Hector Villanueva said

    Exactly, I was put in safe mode! You don't need to restore! Just delete the tweak and just respring ... And everything normal! I LOVE MY JAILBREAK

  18.   David said

    For me with VirtualHome it is already worth to Jailbreak, really. If we put it together with BioProtect it is already the cane, but the truth is that they do not get along very well together. If you have both installed, when restarting the iPhone neither works, you have to do a respring. On the other hand, if you only have VirtualHome installed, it works perfectly by restarting the iphone. I guess it's a BioProtect thing ... You can also use AppLocker.

    A voice that disagrees. What about the security of your data? Every time you do the jb to the iphone, you don't really know what you are installing. Several articles on this same page talk about it. To me, with the modifications that Apple introduced with iOS 8 I am already more than enough.
    A sldo. to all

    HELLO GOOD DAY SORRY I would like to know if there is any way that my iphone 6 looks like an iphone 3 I really liked the way the messages and calls appeared in advance thanks for everything

    The truth is, it never works well for me, jailbreak, it always makes a bug appear or the app has its own problems; try all the models you use, in short. I am not willing to lose quality and above all security, for having this supposed freedom,
