iOS is Apple's mobile operating system that runs on iPhones, iPads, iPod touches and Apple TVs. It has gone through several updates and is interacted with through touch gestures like swiping, tapping and pinching. Cydia is an app store for jailbroken iOS devices that provides access to apps not available in the official Apple App Store. It allows users to install, upgrade and remove apps with an interface similar to the App Store. Common troubleshooting steps for jailbroken devices include booting into safe mode which disables all tweaks and extensions to isolate the cause of any crashing.
