Jailbreaking – Definitions

Reading Time: 1 min read
in Cyber101, Definition

Jailbreaking is the process of removing software restrictions imposed by the manufacturer or operating system (OS) of a mobile device, typically an iPhone or iPad running iOS, or an Android device running the Android OS.

Jailbreaking allows users to gain root access to their device’s file system, giving them the ability to install third-party apps, customize the appearance and functionality of the device, and perform other actions that are typically not allowed by the manufacturer or OS.

Jailbreaking is typically done by circumventing the device’s built-in security mechanisms, which can pose security risks, void warranties, and may be considered a violation of the device’s terms of service.

It is important to note that jailbreaking is not the same as unlocking, which refers to the process of removing carrier restrictions to use a device with a different mobile carrier.
