Cydia Support Is Now Available For The iOS 11 Jailbreak

Jailbreak had its revival and developers managed to cracked recent iOS versions. Recently, there have been some interesting development for iOS 11 users, as they received their first jailbreak that came with Cydia support.

This is not the first jailbreak tool available for iOS 11, but it is the first time users get Cydia. Electra 1.0.1 works with recent Apple devices as well, including iPhone X. Additionally, it is compatible to iOS 11 versions up to iOS 11.1.2. Cydia support makes the jailbreak tool valuable once again.

For a while, there was no hope left for the jailbreak community. It appeared that Apple made its latest iOS versions “unbreakable” and no developer was able to crack them. Electra was one of the first tools that managed to achieve the impossible: it brought jailbreak back for the latest iOS versions.

The last Electra release brought Cydia support, something much needed by jailbreak users. With Cydia you can install various tweaks that allow you to enhance and customise your device. Users also receive a safe mode, SSH support, and a theme engine that is built-in.

Electra 1.0.1 is compatible with all the iPhones and iPads out there, as long as they are running iOS 11 to iOS 11.1.2. You have to sideload the application onto your device and you can do this using a Windows PC or a Mac. Then you open your iOS device and run it.

While this is good news for jailbreakers, we do not know exactly how much time Cydia has left. Since jailbreaking was deemed impossible until recently, and Cydia support was not possible, two major repositories were shut down. Right now, BigBoss is the only source for tweaks and apps. That is because jailbreaking is no longer vital and many users don’t need it anymore.
