Frequently Asked Questions:

• What is Jailbreaking?

Jailbreaking is the process that allows you to unlock the true potential of your iPhone and break the restrictions set by the iOS operating system by installing a “Package Manager”, like Cydia or Sileo. Jailbreaking then gives you the ability to install 3rd-party apps and tweaks to customize and improve your device.

• Is Jailbreaking Illegal?

Jailbreaking is not illegal. In 2012, The Library of Congress ruled it as a legal exemption to the DMCA, or Digital Millennium Copyright Act, making it legal.

• What is a Package Manager?

Package managers like Sileo and Cydia are installed when you jailbreak your iPhone. A Package Manager lets you install third-party jailbreak apps and tweaks onto your iOS device. They are like an unofficial app store.

• What is Cydia?

Cydia is a package Manager ( unofficial appstore ) for iOS devices that lets you download tweaks and jailbreak apps on your iPhone and iPad. To download Cydia on your phone, you need to jailbreak your iOS device using the jailbreak tools listed above.

• Why Do we need to Jailbreak to Install Cydia?

Apple is quite restrictive in what they allow us to download. If it doesn’t come from their official appstore, they don’t want you to have it. Cydia is one way to get unofficial apps and other content on your device, and it is included in every jailbreak; you cannot install it on its own.

• How to Install Cydia?

To download the Cydia app on your iPhone or iPad, you need to jailbreak your device using the jailbreak apps listed below. Some of these jailbreak apps can be directly installed on your device, and some would require a computer to run them using the USB cable connected to your phone.

• Why Should You Download Cydia?

Cydia offers several features for iPhone users that are not available without jailbreaking.

• Download themes and tweaks to change the appearance of your device
• Download apps and tweaks that bring additional features and functionality to existing iOS features
• Download apps and tweaks that offer added functionality to stock iOS apps
• Lots of ringtones, wallpapers, and other useful features unavailable on iOS

These features make downloading Cydia worthwhile.

• Can Cydia Be Installed without Jailbreaking?

No, Cydia cannot be installed without jailbreaking first.

• Is Cydia Free?

Yes, Cydia is a free appstore for iPhone and is available for download using any of the jailbreak tools listed above.

• Is Cydia Safe to Use on the iPhone?

Yes, Cydia is safe to download and use on your iPhone. However, you should only add reputable Repo Sources on Cydia and download tweaks from there. Third-party repo sources may have malware on them.

• What Benefits Do I Get From Jailbreaking?

Jailbreaking gives you access to lots of features and functionalities, including:

1. Getting deep access to iOS
2. Accessing package managers such as Cydia or Sileo
3. Install themes that change how your device looks
4. Install tweaks that change how your device behaves
5. Install third-party content not available elsewhere

• Do I Need To Pay for My Cydia Tweaks?

While many of the tweaks and apps in Cydia are free, some require a small payment.  

• Are there any Cydia Alternatives?

Yes, there are several Cydia alternatives that do not require jailbreaking your device. They are simple to download and easy to use. We have listed some of these alternatives on this page.

• How to Remove Cydia from iPhone?

To delete Cydia from your iPhone, you can either restore your device using iTunes or use the Cydia Eraser app. Cydia Eraser is a useful tool that removes Cydia from your iPhone without updating your current iOS firmware. It means that, if you want to, you can rejailbreak your device and install Cydia again later.

• What is a Repo?

A repo, or repository, is a database full of tweaks and apps that you can add to the package manager ( i.e., Cydia or Sileo ) on your jailbroken device. Package managers usually come with several repo sources pre-installed, but you can add additional repos that give you access to more tweaks.

• What is a Tweak?

A tweak is a program that changes how certain parts of your iOS device look and feel. Tweaks typically don’t have an app icon that you can tap on. Instead, you will find them in your Settings app, where you can customize them up.

• What Does “Respring” or “Restart Springboard” Mean?

When your device resprings, the homepage and the iOS user interface are restarted. Most tweaks require you to “respring” your device for the changes to take effect without rebooting your phone. You also do not have to reinstall the jailbreak once your device resprings and the package managers ( i.e., Cydia and Sileo ) will remain active.

• What is Recovery Mode?

Recovery Mode is a kind of protection on your iPhone or iPad that lets you do a fresh install of the iOS operating system. Recovery Mode is a useful feature for when some part of the iPhone operating system becomes damaged or corrupted and will not start up correctly. This can happen during a failed jailbreak attempt. 

• What is DFU Mode?

DFU Mode allows you to interact with the operating system without loading iOS or the boot loader. DFU means Device Firmware Upgrade but should not be confused with Recovery Mode, as in functional terms, it is different. DFU is typically used as a last resort should things go badly wrong on your iPhone or iPad, but some tools also use it as part of the process to jailbreak your device.
