If you have an app preventing you from using it because your device is jailbroken, here’s how to bypass jailbreak detection on your iPhone.
Last month, Snapchat started banning users using jailbroken devices because there are jailbreak tweaks that allow you to hack Snapchat and change different settings that you wouldn’t normally be able to change on a non-jailbroken iPhone. However, a bypass was eventually discovered and jailbreak users can continue to use Snapchat without fear of being banned.
This allows you to mark posts as read at any time, disable the hold gesture when opening snaps, auto-save new snaps, select multiple contacts at once, send a photo from your camera roll, and much more.
Snapchat isn’t the only iOS app with jailbreak detection, however, blocking access for anyone with a jailbroken device. options to consider and take advantage of.
