iOS 26 Jailbreak: Supported Tools & Alternatives (2025 Install Guide)

iOS 26 Jailbreak Update (2025)

Are you looking to jailbreak iOS 26 on your iPhone or iPad?

Right now, no public jailbreak supports iOS 26. But the good news is—you can still customize your device safely using trusted tools that bring jailbreak-like features without the risks.

At WWDC 2025, Apple introduced the new LiquidGlass UI, which inspired developers to release lightweight tools for iOS 26. These tools allow you to install themes, tweaks, modded apps, and custom wallpapers—all without jailbreaking.

No – a jailbreak for iOS 26 is not available.
Apple has patched the exploits used by older jailbreaks, so tools like Palera1n, Dopamine, Checkra1n, Unc0ver, and Odyssey do not support iOS 26.
