Can I Jailbreak?

My iOS device is on iOS 11.2 → 11.2.6

This page is the ultimate introduction to jailbreaking. Along with the frequently asked questions about everything jailbreak related, you will find links to detailed tutorials on how to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV.

Jailbreaking is the process by which Apple’s operating systems are modified to remove restrictions and give greater user control over the device. These modifications typically allow running unsigned code, as well as reading and writing to the root filesystem, both of which are normally prevented by Apple. The increased privileges permit customisations and unfettered app installation which are not available to users with a stock device. Jailbreaking is most popular on, and most associated with, Apple’s mobile operating system iOS, though it also exists on tvOS and watchOS.

Typically, jailbreaking adds an unofficial application installer to your device which lets you download 3rd-party applications, tweaks, and extensions that are unavailable through the App Store. These packages open up endless possibilities to do things on your iOS device that a non-jailbroken iOS device would never be able to do. The most famous and largest of these application installers is called Cydia.

Cydia houses tweaks which customise the look, feel, behaviour, and capabilities of your device in myriad ways, bypass limitations set in place by Apple and carriers, connect to other devices remotely, and generally let you take back your iOS experience.


Jailbreaking is about freeing your Apple devices to let you use the products you paid for in any way you want.
