Every day new users are added to the iOS ecosystem and, like all of us at the beginning, they are unaware of many aspects, one of them is cidya; That is why today we are going to tell you what Cidya is and what it is for.
Cydia and Jailbreak, together and hand in hand
As many of you will know, iOS It is a closed operating system, which implies that no type of modification can be made to it beyond those allowed by the system itself, or install applications obtained outside of the App Store, as we can do with total freedom on a Mac or PC.
The advantages are obvious: iOS it is the most secure operating system. Despite this, many users yearn to be able to make all kinds of modifications to their iPhone or iPad and introduce new or better functions that are in the competition. This is achieved through Jailbreak and Cydia. In fact, some of the additions that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has made in the new versions of its mobile operating system have originated in the jailbreak, and perhaps one of the most significant cases is the control Center, present much earlier through tweaks from Cidya.
cidya It is neither more nor less than the largest repository of tweaks repositories that allow us to modify practically any aspect of iOS on iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Contrary to popular belief, Jailbreak and Cydia They did not arise for the purpose of downloading paid applications for free, that is, it was not born for piracy purposes (although the reality is that this aspect is present), but as a means to overcome the limitations imposed by Apple on iOS.
To better understand what it is Cydia it is essential to go to its etymological origin: Cydia has its origin in the name of the common worm that feeds on apples, Cydia pomonella, thus alluding to the fact that Cydia is an application that gets inside Apple devices and “takes advantage” of them to reach their full potential.
