‘Jail breaking’ refers to the process of modifying the operating system of certain mobile phones (specifically Apple’s iOS devices like iPhones and iPads) to remove restrictions imposed by the manufacturer.
This process allows users to gain full access to the root of the operating system and install software from unofficial sources, customize the interface beyond standard options, and change system settings that are normally locked. It essentially liberates the device from the constraints of the official software ecosystem.
