Apple fans broke out into a frenzy when Google's Project Zero featured the exploit detected inside iOS 10.1.1. The exploit was discovered and publicized by Google employee Ian Beer, which then prompted Luca Todesco to announce a possible iOS 10 jailbreak soon. 

The Italian hacker and security analyst took to Twitter to inform his followers that they could receive the latest iOS 10 jailbreak if they keep using iOS 10.1.1 up until that time, according to Yibada.   

Value Walk has enlisted a few steps users can do to prepare their Apple devices, if they want to take advantage of the iOS 10 jailbreak. 

4 Easy Preparatory Steps

Here are simple steps to follow in case users intend to take advantage of the iOS 10 jailbreak. Take note that some of these are time sensitive, requiring speedy action:

  1. Check the current jailbreak version used by the device. To accommodate the iOS 10 jailbreak exploit, the device must be using iOS 10.1.1. If the unit being used has already been upgraded to iOS 10.2 make sure to downgrade it. Remember that the exploit Todesco will use takes advantage of the iOS 10.1.1. At some point, Apple will start filtering the 10.1.1 sign in that is why immediate action is advised.
  2. Make sure that the iTunes software is recently updated for the iOS 10 jailbreak. This is a simple task that a user can manage by connecting the iPhone or iPad to a computer.
  3. Take a preventive measure by backing up the device. This ensures that if a problem arises the important files and content of your device are in safe condition.
  4. Lastly, wait for the official iOS 10 jailbreak from Todesco himself. Beware of those who will claim to know. Keep in mind that only Todesco has the idea of when and how it works.
