What is jailbreak?

Jailbreak is the process of removing the restrictions found in iOS. Hackers achieve this by exploiting existing vulnerabilities and exploits in the company's mobile operating system Apple. This process grants administrator rights to the file system iOS, which allows you to run software on the device that is not approved for use by the company Apple. As a result of this process, users can install jailbroken apps, tweaks, and operating system interface skins from the Cydia app, which is a third-party alternative to the store App Store, in order to change the look and way of working on their devices, as well as to improve their functionality.

Jailbreak is legal, that is, legal process. Last October, the Library of Congress amended the Digital Age Copyright Act (DMCA), according to which this law does not apply to the process of jailbreaking devices such as smartphones iPhone, tablets, smart TV, and other general-purpose computing equipment. These amendments made it possible for users who like to play around with the capabilities of their devices to modify their software without violating copyright laws.
