According to the developers, the Cheyote tool will initially only work with iOS 15.0 to iOS 15.1.1, which was released in November last year. The group says they will continue to work to support versions up to iOS 15.4.1, but this is likely to take some time, since Apple has made the jailbreaking process a lot tougher in recent versions of its mobile operating system.
Apple’s cat-and-mouse game with the jailbreaking community has been ongoing for over a decade, with advancements in iOS security and added customization built into Apple’s software having decreased interest in jailbreaking in recent years.
Yes I jailbroke my first iPhone and it yielded lots of extra functionality without any problems. But it is quite true that both iOS and Android have progressed a lot further with customisations, so that I have not felt the need to jailbreak or root my devices. This also became a bigger issue for me when one of my banking apps refused to work at all with a rooted device, no matter how I tried to cloak it. That said, a major irritation for me still is iOS closing background apps like Truecaller (or breaking their functionality).
