iOS 18.6 Jailbreak Status

In 2025 Apple has made big improvements to iOS security in the iOS 18.6 update. Because of this, full jailbreaks with full tweaks are no longer possible right now. Even Palera1n — previously one of the most reliable jailbreak methods — stopped functioning entirely from iPadOS 18.4 onward. As of now, no fully functional jailbreak tool is available for iOS 18.6.

At the moment, only online jailbreak-style tools like TyMax are available. These aren’t full jailbreaks, but they allow limited features and customizations. Our Cydia 2 team and other developers are still working to bring you the best possible tweaks that work with iOS 18.6, even without a full jailbreak. Some of the upcoming features we’re planning include:

• Battery Health Tools – help your battery last longer and charge smarter
• Virus Cleaners – find and remove any harmful stuff from your system
• Dock Mods – change how your dock looks (style, transparency, layout)
• AI Tools for Icons – use AI to customize your icons and themes
• Settings Tweaks – unlock hidden settings and add shortcuts
• Notification Styles – change how your notifications look and act
• New Animations – add smooth and cool effects across your device
