Current Status: Semi-Supported
iOS 26.0 was the first version to expose the "MobileGestalt" exploit vector. Because of the new Kernel Integrity Protection (KIP), a traditional root jailbreak is currently impossible on A12+ devices. However, we can still modify:
- Control Center Transparency (Liquid Glass)
- Genmoji Creation on older devices
- Custom Icon Theming (Cowabunga method)
- No Tweak Injection (No Root)
Valid Alternatives (Safe)
AltStore PAL / SideStore
Sideloading is the only "official" way to get unsigned apps. With iOS 26's clearer Developer Mode, this is easier than ever.
ZeeStore (Signed Services)
A new cloud-based signing service that works on iOS 26. Good for emulators and tweaked apps without a PC.
Scams to AVOID (Dangerous)
"unc0ver dark"
A fake version of the classic tool. The real unc0ver team has not updated for iOS 26.
"Jailbreak Tweak Master"
An App Store app that claims to jailbreak. It is just a wallpaper app. Do not pay for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a root jailbreak for iOS 26?
No. As of early 2026, there is no public 'root' jailbreak (like Dopamine) for iOS 26 due to the new Kernel Integrity Protection (KIP). However, customization is possible via Misaka26.
What is 'Liquid Glass' in iOS 26?
Liquid Glass is Apple's new deeper, translucent design language introduced in iOS 26. While beautiful, it heavily restricts older customization methods. Misaka26 exploits the MobileGestalt engine to modify these specific layers.
Is Misaka26 safe?
Misaka26 is safer than a full jailbreak as it doesn't break the system sandbox (it uses a 'bl_sbx' escape). However, modifying system files always carries a small risk. Always backup first. <a href='/tool/misaka26' class='text-terminal-cyan hover:underline'>Read the Misaka26 Guide</a>.
