- It loads tweaks and packages at blazing fast speeds.
- It also trims a lot of fat from the “Sources” section with the all-new “repo unclutterer” that refreshes sources almost instantly.

Before you install this new Cydia replacement on your device, here are a few things you should keep in mind –

DOES SILEO WORK WITH IOS 12/12.1 OR ABOVE?
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with iOS 12, 12.0.1, 12.1 or higher versions. For those of you who don’t know, jailbreak package manager requires root access to function.
Since iOS 12 and above versions do not have a public jailbreak available, Sileo can’t work on them. Several disreputable individuals are pushing bogus and virus-laden versions of both Sileo and Cydia on websites like YouTube.
If you wish to run Sileo on your iOS 12 device, your best bet is to bookmark this page and keep a tab on the compatibility section above.
REQUIREMENTS
- iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
