Top 3 Virtual iOS 16.2 Jailbreak Tools

1. Unc0ver Virtual Jailbreak

The original Unc0ver jailbreak tool only supports up to iOS 14.8.1, hence the substitute – Unc0ver Virtual jailbreak tool – can be used on iOS 16.2. Even though the Unc0ver Virtual tool does not jailbreak iOS 16.2 by making amends to the system roots, it provides a lite/ demo version of Cydia for iOS 16.2 and other devices that can’t be jailbroken yet. Lite Cydia is limited in functionality compared to Cydia. Still, it’s worth trying until a jailbreak tool is released for iOS 16.2.

2. Checkra1n Virtual Jailbreak

To jailbreak iOS 16.2 virtually, the Checkra1n Virtual jailbreak tool also can be used from where you can install Cydia lite on iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2. Up on the tests we performed on a range of iPhones running on iOS 16.2, we could install Cydia lite on all without any errors.

3. Cheyote Virtual for iOS 16.2 Jailbreak

Even though the Cheyote jailbreak tool is supposed to launch for iOS 15 – iOS 15.1.1, the Cheyote Virtual Jailbreak tool is the ideal substitute for iOS 16.2/ iPadOS 16.2 to install a lite version of Sileo on your iPhone or iPad.

Once tested, we could install Sileo lite on iOS 16.2 on a range of iPhones and iPads including iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPad Pro, without any errors. It’s important to know that you can’t amend the root files of your iOS/ iPadOS with lite Sileo, hence limited in function compared to Sileo.

Also, the Repo Extractor component of Zeon contains a repo to install lite Sileo on iOS 16.2/ iPadOS 16.2.

Possible Semi-untethered /Semi tethered jailbreak tools for iOS 16.2
