Anyone who buys an iPhone or iPad also does it for iOS, the operating system from Apple. The system is highly regarded as well very safe, But certainly does not shine for freedom, the jailbreak (which literally means evasion).
This procedure allowed (still allows on older iOS versions) to run unsigned code on iOS devices and thus greatly expand their capabilities. In recent versions of iOS, things have fortunately changed and Apple has allowed the installation of alternative stores to iTunes.
What are alternative stores and what are they for?
They are alternatives to the App Store from Apple. Even on these portals just enter to be able to download many apps. We have already talked in a previous and appreciated article of the alternative stores for Android, on iOS now the situation is fortunately similar.
Those are placed on these alternative stores Apps that have been deleted from the App Store for violation of the policies, the mothefied apps (called mods, are thestinguished from the original versions by having ++ in the name) and also paid apps made free.
We do not want to encourage piracy in any way and we invite you to download only those free, legal and useful apps that, due to Apple's strict laws, are not present on the App Store (such as screen recortheng apps, emulators and themes) .
Are alternative app stores safe?
To install these stores you will have to accept their signature and therefore the related security issues. We therefore advise you to pay close attention to what you download: apps are not controlled carefully as it happens on the App Store. So it's up to you to be careful not to compromise the security of your device.
For the rest, continuing with the use of alternative stores, you do not risk compromising the warranty in any way, since to install these stores no need to jailbreak.
How to install alternative stores on iOS
The procedure is actually very simple (you don't even have to have a PC or Mac). You need a device with iOS version 9 or later, and then:
- open Safari (other alternative browsers, such as Chrome will not work)
- go to the web page of the alternative store of your choice and press the button Install o install (or similar, it is always present)
- A system screen will then appear asking you if you want to install a new profile:
- press on the writing Install (top left) and then on the button Install which will appear below
- at this point it will be sufficient to return to the home to find the alternative store installed.
