I would like to jailbreak my iPhone but have never done that before and don't know what is accessible. Can anyone give me some instructions?
If I knew what to search for I would but don't want o mess up with inaccessible methods.

I would not recommend you doing that
In the first place I’ve never heard of any accessible way to do that and the second place if you do jailbreak your iPhone you will probably lose Apple support for your iPhone because of what it would do to iOS software
It's fine
No reason to scare someone into not trying this. You can always reload your phone from a backup and Apple support won't know anything about the fact that you had a jailbroken phone. Jailbreaking can lead to some mild instability on your phone, but on the other hand you also get some new tools to deal with problems, like respringing (reloading the graphical environment). Back in the day I jailbroke my iphone, and I could do things like hit the volume buttons to restart Voiceover, which helped a lot when it got stuck.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about the current methods of jailbreaking your iPhone. The old Cydia tweak download application was pretty accessible once you're on the other side and jailbroken, though, or at least it was back in the day. I've also heard the process is a lot easier than it used to be. Maybe get some sighted assistance for a couple hours, try the jailbreak, and then report back here. Maybe you'll encourage me to jailbreak again as well :) Good luck.
Doesn't jailbreaking your…
Doesn't jailbreaking your iPhone causes you to not be able to update your IOS software?
I.e.. If I for example jailbreak my iPhone, which has IOS 14.7 on it, and then if IOS 15 gets released, can I update my iPhone to IOS 15 without any problems?
Thanks
Okay I made it. I am having…
Okay I made it. I am having a little trouble. I cannot see what the apps in cydia are for. Just a little strange things.
Android for inventors.
Hi!
If you want to jail break your iPhone, then take an android and you won't need to jail your iPhone. My opinion and nothing more.
Cheers!
Braking
FYI I think that apple will not fix any issue if you brake your phone.
What Does Jailbreaking iOS Mean?
Necromancing threads for spam?
I wouldn't follow the link posted above if I was any of you, especially if you haven't updated to the latest version of iOS, because the above is spam at best and scam to own your device at worst.
Pro Tip regarding links
VoiceOver for iOS has a function that will allow VO to read aloud a hyperlink without double tapping on it. It requires assigning a gesture to it, but I would highly recommend everyone do this. For me, I use the two finger triple tapped gesture, as I have item Chooser set to a different gesture. It is especially helpful, when somebody posts a hyperlink, and you are unsure of where that link actually takes you.
HTH.
What is this function called?
I've searched the word "link" in the vo settings, but can't figure out which command this is.
The only one that only partially made sense to me was move to linked item, but nothing happened.
This does sound super useful though.
As for jailbreaking, it's pretty much dead at this point.
Cydia is no longer being developed, and no modern versions of iOs support it.
Just fetched the main page
I just fetched the main page of that site using
curlfrom a Linux container in a virtual machine on my computer, after looking up thewhoisinformation for that domain which was registered in 2018, and the returned information makes it sound a lot like this is a scam possibly to take advantage of people's phones for free crypto currency mining at best and more nefarious purposes at worst, so just avoid that site.The main page seems to require specifically opening it on an iOS device, where it downloads and executes a payload on the browser itself, and once that finishes, asks you to download two applications from the App Store and let them run on the device for 30 seconds to do the jailbreaking. At this point it claims that "the `fstab` files have been patched" and that you still "need to verify you have an iDevice" by going somewhere else to complete some "short offers".
There are several red flags here. The first is that they claim to be the only site offering an iOS 26 jailbreak while at the same time claiming that they "scour the Internet" looking for jailbreaking software. The second is that the text on the website sounds a lot like an aggressive sale, with a huge emphasis on explaining exactly why someone would want to jailbreak, as if people looking for jailbreaking options weren't already aware of the benefits. The third is the download of a payload to execute on the browser and potentially exploit known vulnerabilities on older iOS versions to own the devices. The fourth is the use of the App Store to gain trust likely by making people download crypto currency mining applications to take advantage of the processing power of their phones to do some free mining. The fifth is that even after downloading and potentially mining crypto currency using the aforementioned applications, they still require you to do something elsewhere on the Internet in order to finish the process. Finally, requiring that much processing to generate an
fstabfile doesn't make any sense to me, since those files are typically relatively small text files containing filesystem mount point information for automation, so while I could see the point in modifying such a file to mount a filesystem image, I can't really understand why that would actually require that much processing both on the browser and natively with two distinct applications from the App Store.My verdict is that this is shady as hell, so as I said above, just avoid the site altogether.
Re: What is this function called?
I believe the command you're looking for is "Read URL" under the "Output" heading.
re: Tyler
Thank you so much!
That was it.
