What It Means to Jailbreak Your iPhone ?
To jailbreak a phone is to hack it.
Devices that are commonly jailbroken are iPhones,
iPod touches, and iPads. Jailbreaking an Android device
is normally called rooting .
Jailbreaking your iPhone frees it from the
limitations imposed on it by Apple.
Example: You cannot install WatsApp in your ipad.
If you want this absolutely, the way is to jailbreak
your ipad.
After a jailbreak, the device can do things it previously
couldn't, such as install unofficial apps and modify
settings and areas of the phone that were previously
restricted.
The information in this article is specific to an iPhone, it may
apply to Android phones, as well, regardless of who made
those devices: Samsung, Google, etc.
Jailbreaking lets you installing third-party applications,
which are titles that are not authorized and available in the App Store.
A third-party app can add tons of functionality to your phone
that you'd otherwise never see through the App Store .
Jailbreaking lets you also unlock your phone so you can use it
with a carrier other than the one from which you purchased it.
While jailbreaking makes your device more open and gives
you complete control, it definitely opens it up to become
more vulnerable to malicious apps and stability issues.
Jailbreaking your phone is legal, but at your risks.
It's important to be cautious of the apps you use to jailbreak
your phone. Some of them could very easily include malware
and while they might hack your phone successfully,
they could install keyloggers or other tools that
you don't want on your phone.
Jailbreaking and rooting have similar purposes for gaining access
to your entire file system but are used for either
iOS or Android, while unlocking is more
about being able to use your phone on different networks.
Cydia is an alternative App Store that offers apps
for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad that aren’t available in the
the official App Store .
Cydia is mainly the most popular alternative to the App Store,
and like all third-party app stores for iOS, it is only
available for jailbroken devices .
Apple store , Google Play , Amazon Appstore
and Samsung's app store are all stores for our mobiles.
Another one , which is TweakBox is also a store to find apps for
non-jailbroken devices .
