Jailbreaking on iOS provides root access to users, which results in more control over the device. It lets you tweak things like the user interface, installing apps that are not on Apple's AppStore etc. Further, you can also install various app stores, like Cydia, that allow users access to other applications for iOS. That said, it is worth noting that while jailbreaking at iOS-powered device does allow certain benefits, it also opens your device up to data thefts. Recently, it was reported that a malware named KeyRaider had affected more than 2,25,000 jailbroken devices in more than 18 countries. The malware stole private and sensitive information from user accounts and also disabled the local as well as remote unlocking functionality of the iPhone.
