HIGHLIGHTS Always wanted to jailbreak/root your iPhone or your Android, Windows Phone handsets? We show you the safest ways to do that.

But now you can now jailbreak a device with an Android phone too, as first spotted by redditor /u/stblr and reported by XDA.

You can now use an Android device as the tether when you jailbreak with the help of Checkra1n. It's an update to the Checkm8 bootrom exploit and works on iOS 12.3 onwards.

You need to jailbreak the handset every time you reboot it, though that's why doing it with an Android handset might come in handy.

The ability to run checkra1n using nothing but a phone makes it possible to jailbreak or re-jailbreak an iPhone on the go without lugging around a laptop.
