There’s a
lot to be said about breaking out of jail. But we’re not talking about breaking
someone out of prison. No, it’s time you broke your iPhone out and helped it
fly. Many apps and features can’t be added or used on your phone without first
jailbreaking it.
Despite the
name, jailbreaking your phone is actually a lot simpler than it sounds. Many
programs, such as Pangu, are out there to help you do it without a lot of
technical knowledge. Anyone can break their phone if they’re willing to sit
down and do it.
Here’s what
you can expect if you jailbreak your phone.
Cydia
Cydia is a
name you’ll be hearing a lot when you jailbreak your phone. Think of Cydia as
an exclusive club. What is it? It’s an app store for independent developers,
who design apps to help you extensively customize your phone. There’s a lot of
neat stuff to be found, with apps that can make your phone do the incredible.
If it sounds amazing, it really is. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. It can be
incredibly addictive if you’re willing to spend a few hours exploring
everything that’s out there.
Custom Themes
Ready to
change the look of your phone? Jailbreaking your phone allows you to download
custom themes, which allow you to change everything from the background color
to the look of apps. No matter what kind of look floats your boat, you can move
beyond Apple’s prescribed theme and get ready to explore the vast wilderness of
custom themes.
Widgets
One of the
best features of an Android is having widgets you can add to your home screen
in order to help you do basic tasks without having to open up an app. By
jailbreaking your phone you can add widgets without having to downgrade to an
Android. It’s one way to make your phone work for you while still having all
the bells and whistles of an iPhone.
Upgrade Siri
Love her or
hate her, Siri is a part of the iOS that doesn’t sound like it’s going to go
away any time soon. But by jailbreaking your phone, you can actually upgrade
Siri with a variety of Cydia apps. For example, you can change her voice or add
new features to help you use Siri in new and innovative ways, or replace her
altogether with a new virtual assistant- Sara.
New Features
With a
jailbroken phone, you can explore a variety of new apps. For example, you can
install cell phone surveillance software on your phone or the phone of your loved one, which can come in handy in a
variety of cases. Spy software for iPhone devices can monitor everything and anything that goes on on the target phone. This way by using this kind of tracking devices for phones you have a heads up on anything going on on your phone or your loved one's phone.
You can
even add additional security features on your phone, including programs that
will take photos of anyone trying to break into your phone.
Improving Your Phone

turn your phone into a mobile hotspot without having to enable Personal
Hotspot? You can now with apps like MyWi, which lets you do it without

access to a better notification, you can have it all with apps on Cydia and so

phone will truly belong to you and it’s an easy feature to install. Any app you
want can usually be found in Cydia, no matter whether it’s approved by Apple or
not.
