Recently had an app starting to install which I then quickly found out on my banking app that ‘jailbreaked devices’ aren’t allowed. However, quickly shut down the installation before it got too much now worried what to do or if it has been. Whether it’s still monitoring and stuck on my iPhone?
iPhone 7, iOS 14
You should restore your phone to factory settings, then restore a backup made before installing what I assume is a non-approved app.
Yes. You attempted to circumvent the built in security on your phone. You need to completely factory reset the device and et it up as new.
No, you can only safely restore a backup made before you hacked your iPhone. If you don’t have such a backup you will have to start over as if it was a new iPhone.
The warning has gone and nothing noticeable has happened. Do you still recommend a reset? I’m worried the app have access to all my personal photos and deleted ones as well
Will backing my iPhone up before work too? I was unaware of some app being able to do this. What will resetting do exactly?
What does it mean if it says ‘PRIVACY WARNING: This network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic.’?
