If you have been an iOS user for a while, then you probably already know that jailbreaking your device is the only way to get the most of out it. But again, at the same time, you also probably also know that jailbreaking has its own issues even before you take into account any potential security concerns. Apple is constantly trying to find ways of stopping jailbreaking even being possible. But there are ways to get a bit out of jailbreak and Cydia experience without having to go through all the issues and not having to bother with all the concerns. Zestia is the way to go for you if you don’t want to over-complicate things.

3. Press the Install button when asked, then Finish.
4. Now when you return to the home screen, there you will find a new icon Zestia. Open the program.
5. Select the app you want to install and follow the instructions on the screen.
6. Once done, go back to home and open Settings and go to General > profile and then tap the name of the app that you just installed.
7. Tap the Trust option and then tap Trust again on the modal box that appears afterward.
