unc0ver iOS 11.0-12.1.2 Jailbreak Released as v3.1.0, Its Biggest Update to Date

unc0ver, the controversial jailbreak for iOS 11.0 all the way up until iOS 12.1.1, has received its biggest update to date. The update seemingly focuses on optimisation, stability and bug fixes, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

The developer behind unc0ver, pwn20wnd, notes that this is the “The biggest update to unc0ver yet!” Most notably, the jailbreak now properly reloads system daemons, which was a highly requested fix amongst users.

Official changelog follows:
