Risks to Know Before You Start
Tweaking MobileGestalt is awesome, but it’s not risk-free:
- Upside: Unlock hidden iOS gems without jailbreaking.
- Downside: A wrong move could glitch your device. (I’ve seen a bootloop scare—trust me, back up first!)
- Heads-Up: iOS 18.2 Beta 3 patched some exploits, so stick to iOS 18.1 or earlier.
Play smart, and you’ll be fine. Resources like Techybuff can steer you right.
