Snapchat No Longer Lets Jailbreakers Downgrade Its App

Yesterday, we learned that Snapchat is locking out users who have Snapchat-related tweaks running on their iPhone or iPad. These tweaks about probable remove or add together more features into the app. Reddit users and many online blogs were able to find a temporary prepare to this issue. Anyone who wants to continue using Phantom or similar tweaks along with Snapchat without getting caught can downgrade to an older version of Snapchat.

When noticed, instead of banning these accounts, Snapchat has decided to go toward a different direction, which we recall is easier and more constructive. The company at present forced jailbreak users to upgrade their Snapchat app to the latest version to use it. Y'all may exist familiar with this kind of method from other applications on the App Shop where the iOS developers who don't hold with the fact that y'all use jailbreak tweaks to modify their applications require you to get their newly released updates, which fix the problem.
