The Jailbreak is the path that iPhone users have to skip the limitations that Apple imposes on their devices and to have more control over everything we can do with smartphones.
Thanks to the Jailbreak it is possible to customize the operating system completely to our liking: change fonts, app icons, menu colors … Even completely change the lock screen or Springboard. This procedure also opens the door to apps that have not been accepted in the App Store, so the possibilities of the iPhone increase significantly.
For the Jailbreak to be available it is necessary for hackers to locate a security flaw in iOS that allows them to “sneak” to touch any part of the OS. Of course this is something that Apple does not like and that is why it is common to quickly correct security flaws to prevent Jailbreak. It is a race of the cat and the mouse that they don’t have … And hopefully it stays that way for a long time.

To consider before doing the Jailbreak
Before Jailbreak your iPhone you must take into account some aspects to avoid unpleasant surprises.
The first and most important would say that is to back up the iPhone before. Generally, the process is completed without a problem and the data is kept in the devices, but the Jailbreak is a procedure without guarantees, so any error could occur and cause the loss of your data (photos, videos, contacts, messages, etc, etc…).
You should also keep in mind that the security of your iDevices will get worse when you apply the Jailbreak. By doing so you are modifying iOS 12.3.1 and opening it to install any software, even if you do not know exactly where it came from. In addition, if you want to use tweaks in your day to day life, you will most likely have to have an outdated version of iOS, so the latest security improvements will take some time to reach your team.
If you get a bug during the jailbreak or the iPhone or iPad is stuck and does not respond to anything ( iPhone black screen, does not come out of recovery mode …) you can use the repair software for iOS – Tenorshare ReiBoot.
Keeping this in mind and being a little careful, you shouldn’t be afraid. The Jailbreak opens a new world full of possibilities.
