This allows users to download and install additional applications, themes and extensions, explore the iFile file-system, free-up space using iCleaner, customize shortcuts and what not.
Once an iPhone is jailbreaked, a new application called Cydia is installed on the phone. Cydia is just like an App Store from where you can get custom third-party applications after you jailbreak. Cydia is the place where the user can download, install, and manage everything for the jailbroken device.

By gaining the file system access, malware, worms, spyware can be injected through many malicious applications or tweaks. This can lead to not only a completely non-responsive device but also compromised bank transactions have been reported.

iPhone hacks & tricks (2019) – iPhone 6, 6s, 7, 8, X
Activating an iPhone without a sim-card
Unlike other phones, an iPhone cannot be used without a sim card inserted in it. But what if you must? Well, you still can overcome this flaw. Let’s see how.
You can use the Emergency Call option. Here it is:
As soon as the device powers on and you get the “No Sim Card Inserted” message, press the home button to place an emergency call to 112 or 999 and disconnect as soon as it dials. Overcome the pop-ups saying cancel and end the call and your iPhone is activated and you will see your home screen.
You can also activate your phone without sim or Wi-Fi using iTunes on your computer.
Just install the latest iTunes on your PC and connect your iPhone to your PC.
Once it detects your phone, just select the option “Set up as new iPhone”.
Then tap on the Continue button on iTunes. Simply set up as new iPhone and then you will be redirected to “Sync with iTunes” screen.
Just click on the “Get Started” option and then “Sync” and wait for some time until the process completes.
Downloading cracked apps
One of the major issues iPhone users face is the paid applications. Although the amount doesn’t seem huge but on an average iPhone users spend around $9.60 per month on applications and in-app purchases.
If jailbreaking is not an option how can one save these expenses? Well there are options for users who wish to download the unpaid cracked versions of iOS applications without a jailbreak. All you need is a Safari browser.
Some hackers have developed tools that you can use to install cracked versions. They are just like Cydia but can be installed from their websites using Safari browser and installing them internally. vShare and Tongbu are a couple of websites you can try.
These app stores will have cracked versions of applications, but remember you won’t be receiving the official updates from original applications.
There are sure some added features but these too aren’t safe. But if you are curious to try, look up for some legit website with a no jailbreak app store for cracked apps.
Customizing your iPhone Themes
iPhone has one basic theme that is the least customizable. That can get boring sometimes. It’s always good to be able to change the look and feel of your phone.

The online theme engines like SwiftlyThemes, iSkin and many such online theme and icon generators are available.
All you need to do is visit the sites and select themes or customize them and download them. They might ask you to install a theme and settings and enter your passcode proceed.
These will usually generate the new icons, and will not replace the original ones. But you can always hide the original icons in some folder in a corner. And you have new icons.
For animations and transitions, you can always turn them on or off in settings for Reduced Motion.
