What is Jailbreaking?

Jailbreaking is the act of altering the iPhone software to remove any restrictions placed by Apple. The main restriction is that applications can only be downloaded from the App Store. With a jailbroken phone you can install apps from a rival to the App Store, and also manually using files downloaded from the internet.

Jailbreaking an iPhone is different to unlocking it. iPhones are usually distributed included in an agreement locking it to a specific cellular network.

Is Jailbreaking a bad idea?

There are plenty of reasons to jailbreak an iPhone; but it can lead to problems.

Jailbreaking adjusts the iOS operating system, usually by way of specialized software on a connected PC or Mac. These can be free knockoffs of games or new interfaces, such as one in which users unlock the phone by “drawing” passwords instead of tapping in a PIN.

Early iPhone users jailbroke their devices because back in 2007 and 2008, there weren’t many apps to choose from. That changed with the introduction of the App Store, but even today, many users want more control over what their iPhones can do. For example, the jailbreak-only app Activator lets you customize button functionality in iOS, and even create triggers for the iPhone 5s’ TouchID fingerprint reader.

“It used to be that jailbreaking was the only way to get third-party apps on your device at all,” said Jonathan Zdziarski, a Boston-area security researcher and expert on iOS forensics. “I helped develop the first jailbreaks, and back then there was no [software development kit], no App Store and no security on the phone to protect users, anyway.”

To get all the feasible spy phone features offered by Flexispy, including Spy Call and Call Intercept, the iPhone needs jailbreaking. But you will get plenty of spy functionality with iPhone Spy from Webwatcher.
