How to Jailbreak iOS 12 to iOS 13.5 on Your iPhone Using Unc0ver
How to Jailbreak iOS 12 to iOS 13.5 – The team behind Unc0ver has released an iOS 13.3.1 – iOS 13.5 jailbreak for all iPhones and iPads. Unc0ver currently works up to iOS 13.5 for most A7 to A13-powered devices. Another jailbreak tool, Chimera, supports a similar range of models on iOS 12 to 12.2 and iOS 12 to 12.4.
You’re on the right website if you are looking to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad running iOS 13.5 using Unc0ver.
For those unfamiliar, jailbreaking means unlocking restrictions on iOS to gain access to apps and tweaks not allowed by Apple. Doing so lets you transform your iPhone’s interface and features through the Cydia or Sileo apps.
Unc0ver is a semi-tethered jailbreak meaning you will have to re-jailbreak your iPhone or iPad after rebooting it. Thankfully, the entire process can be done right from your phone, and you only need access to a PC or Mac to install the Unc0ver app on your iPhone the first time around.
Note: Apple has released the iOS 13.5.1 update to patch the 0-day security vulnerability used by Unc0ver to jailbreak iOS 13.5. Therefore, do not update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 13.5.1 if you intend to jailbreak it.
