What Can I Do with Cydia?

Cydia is for those Apple users who do not want to be confined by the restrictions Apple imposes on different aspects of its devices. If you want to tweak and customize your iPhone/iPad without having to worry about those restrictions, you must have your device jailbroken first. That’s because all the apps, tweaks, and other content available on Cydia work only with jailbroken devices. (Note that jailbreaking your Apple device will void its warranty.)

Once you gain access to Cydia, possibilities are practically limitless. There are so many ways you can change the look and feel of your device. In addition to all those apps that Apple doesn’t allow on the App Store, you will also have countless tweaks, themes, and settings to choose from.

If you are fed up of the same old boring themes you have been using for awhile, check out all the cool new ones on Cydia. You can also change the lockscreen theme by downloading a LS theme of your choice from Cydia.

You can also make changes to the status bar or the dock screen. Simply put, Cydia is the one-stop solution for anyone who want to personalize each and every aspect of their iOS device.
