How’s an iOS version without a Jailbreak being released for it? Unc0ver released a jailbreak for the latest version of iOS which is iOS 12.4 . This has happened for the first time in four years. Some developers say that this security flaw was patched in the update before 12.4 but it came back in 12.4. This jailbreak supports the iPhone 5s till the iPhone X. Don’t worry A12 device owners, it will soon be released for you. For those of you who don’t know what jailbreaking is, it is a process in which apps like unc0ver can install Cydia which helps you to remove all the system restrictions in the OS. For example: Can you change your theme on your iPhone without a Jailbreak? No, right? A jailbreak allows you to do things like changing the theme, transition animations, the app grid. You can also get the swipe up gestures on your home button device and also get an iPad Dock with Multitasking and Picture-in Picture.
Follow these steps to Jailbreak your iPhone:
1. Install Tweakbox from tweakboxapp.com
2. After it’s installed, go to Settings>General>Profiles and Device Management and sign the app.
