Why Choose Cydia 2 Over Original Cydia?

The Cydia, created by Jay Freeman, is outdated and no longer supported. It struggles with limited compatibility on modern iOS versions due to Apple’s security measures, and full jailbreak tools for it are unavailable.

Cydia 2 is our solution, designed for iOS 18.2, 18.2.1, 18.3, and up to 18.4 beta. It’s user-friendly like the original but requires no complex jailbreaking, though it has fewer features.

Top Benefits of Cydia 2:

• No Jailbreak Needed: Cydia 2 repositories work on any device without a jailbreak, unlike traditional Cydia, which requires one.

• Modern Features: Download the latest third-party apps, tweaks, and themes. Cydia’s offerings are outdated and no longer updated.

• Easy installation: No PC, sideloadly, or cables required. Cydia needs them, making it harder and riskier – especially if you’re not a jailbreak expert – potentially affecting your warranty.

• Permanent & lifetime access: Cydia 2 stays installed without weekly reactivation. Cydia often faces 7-day resigning issues.

• Ongoing Updates: Cydia 2 is actively developed with new features, while Cydia is discontinued and seems to be dead.
