Unleash your phone
Do you want to have the freedom to add or remove existing OS files from your phone? Jailbreaking or rooting lets you do so. These activities unlock a whole world of customization and features.
Why Modify Existing Operating System Files
Every mobile phone has an operating system; the core technology that allows you to use apps, surf the internet, and make phone calls. This OS includes an approved list of apps provided by the manufacturer.
But, if you prefer modifying existing OS files or using other apps rather than the ones provided by your cellular service provider, you can do so with jailbreaking and rooting.
What Is a Phone Jailbreak?
A jailbreak is to modify a phone in order to bypass the restrictions placed by Apple. A successful iPhone jailbreak allows you unrestricted access to the phone’s entire file system. You can then install any app or program that is not allowed by Apple, such as custom icons and different ringtones.
Jailbreaking an iOS device is the best way to get extra features and functionality without hacking. You can install custom themes, apps and provide root access to your device with only a few steps. You can also Read: Jailbreaking VS Rooting
Is it safe to jailbreak your iPhone?
Apple has long been opposing jailbreaking, arguing that it puts users at risk of having their devices rendered unusable and could lead to security vulnerabilities that hackers could use to gain access to otherwise private information. You get more apps; the downside is that the battery often drains faster, and the device freezes more often with more available apps.
Jailbreaking an iOS device is taking a risk by going behind the safety of your device and using an unapproved method. Because of this, jailbreaking your iPhone could put your device at risk by installing applications that could jeopardize your privacy or security.
What is phone rooting?
Rooting your phone gives you super user access to your Android’s operating system which is a powerful program on your devices. Through rooting, you can get “root access” or “super user” access to your device and administrative rights.
Phone rooting is for Android phones while Jailbreaking is for IOS devices. This is one of their main differences. Another main difference is that android devices are open source while iOS is not.
This gives you more control over your device and the ability to install custom ROMs, change your default system apps, play with system settings, and many other kinds of modifications and tweaks.
Is rooting illegal?
Rooting is not illegal. Many Android phone makers are fully aware of these custom changes to phones and no action can be taken if you are found to have changed files of the operating system of a phone.
Some may argue that these actions are unnecessary because Apple and Android have addressed Jailbreaking or rooting by releasing updates. However, some people engage in these types of activities because they want to add apps or functionality that are not in their phones.
