Apple keeps improving security with every update for iPhones and iPads. And currently, iOS 14.6 is the latest update for iPhones available to the Public. And in case if you have already updated your iPhone, it is hard to Jailbreak. But luckily, it’s still possible to Jailbreak iPhones with iOS 14.6. Here in this guide, you will know how to Jailbreak iOS 14.6. You can follow this guide for iOS 14.5.
Jailbreak is an advance privilege that users can get on their iPhones. It brings support for a lot of advanced modules which helps in getting features that are not available by default. If you have used an Android phone then you can refer to Root as Jailbreak. Both are not exactly the same, but both unlock the features that are restricted by default.
There are some good exploits like Checkra1n and Unc0ver that allow users to Jailbreak their iPhones. If you Jailbreak your iPhone frequently then you know the trick which is not to update iPhones. With every update, the Jailbreak gets revoked and so users need to Jailbreak their iPhones again. And probably you need the working exploit for the new iOS version.
How to Jailbreak iOS 14.6
The latest iOS 14.6 comes with some new features and security updates. So, if you lose the Jailbreak privilege, you can still Jailbreak iPhones X and older iPhones. Here in this guide, we are going to use the Checkra1n for Jailbreaking iOS 14.6. This will not work on iPhone XS or newer phones.
