Apple is one of the best smartphone brands in the market. A lot of people prefer an iPhone over an Android one but there are times when they cannot download and install softwares or apps due to some restrictions. If you want to remove such restrictions set by Apple, you may jailbreak your phone. In this article, we will share with you how to jailbreak your iPhone without a computer.
How to jailbreak your Iphone without using a computer
You may be thinking that you need to connect your computer in order for you to jailbreak your iPhone. Well, that’s not true, because now, you can already jailbreak your phone using the device itself. Once you finish jailbreaking, you’ll be able to download and install apps on your iPhone that are not available in the App Store.
Before you jailbreak your phone
There are a few things to note before you jailbreak your iPhone. The first thing you should know is that your phone will lose its warranty if it’s brand new and still covered. Most of the time, iPhone users do not experience any issues with their iPhone after jailbreaking. But if you encounter issues after doing it, jailbreaking is most likely the reason why. And when this happens on your new iPhone, note that it has already lost its warranty.
Common issues you may encounter once you jailbreak your phone include crashing apps, random phone restarts, reduced battery life, and poor overall phone performance. But if you are willing to take the risk and still want to jailbreak your iPhone, read on.
Jailbreaking your iPhone without a computer
Since we are not going to use a computer or laptop to jailbreak your iPhone, we are going to need a third party software. Please note that it’s highly recommended to have your phone on airplane mode. Here are the steps on how to jailbreak a phone without a computer (iOS):
1. On your iPhone, go to Safari
2. Go to www.next.tweakboxapp.com
3. Tap on the “Apps” section and select “Tweakbox Apps”
4. On the search bar, type in to search for “unc0ver Jailbreak”

6. Once the app has been installed, go to “Settings” on your phone
7. Go to “General” and select “Device Management”
8. Select by tapping “ShangHai P&C Information Technology Co., Ltd under Enterprise App”
9. Confirm by tapping on “Trust ShangHai P&C Information …” and tap “Trust” again
