InstaLauncher 2 makes it easy to access any app from anywhere

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated February 16, 2022

The iPhone’s Home screen is simple and effortless to navigate by nature, but if you have a lot of apps installed, then it can quickly start to seem like you’re playing a game of ‘I Spy’ every time you attempt to locate certain apps. That’s one reason why we’re fans of the plethora of third-party application launchers that the jailbreak community has brought to the table over the years.

This is essentially where an app developer implements some kind of trap in their app that detects if your handset is jailbroken and then responds one of two ways: 1) by denying the user access to the app on the jailbroken handset; or 2) banning the user for the use of potential third-party hacks.

Jailbreak detection has been a pain (to say the least) for users who enjoy the freedoms made possible by liberating their handset from Apple’s control, and the feeling is made worse when you find out that an account for one of your favorite games was banned for accessing said game on a jailbroken device.
