  5. Click on Import & Install IPA or drag the IPA you want from your computer into 3uTools
  6. Your chosen apps will now be installed on your device and are ready to use.

Provide Detailed Device Information:

  • Information – view detailed information about your device, including battery life
  • Apps – uninstall apps individually or batch and import .ipa files. Hover your mouse over an app and see the Apple ID purchase information
  • Photos, Ringtones, and Music – view data about any of these on your device and batch manage them. Back them all up on your device to keep them safe
  • UDisk – mobile data storage
  • Data – with a non-jailbroken device, you can see and edit Notes and Contacts – not available on iOS 11 or higher because of a different file system.
  • Files – access your device file system in the same way as you do with apps like Filza or iFile. On a jailbroken device, with AFC2 installed, you can also access the jailbreak file system.

Flash and Jailbreak your iPhone:

Note: please back your device up fully before you use these features:

  • Flash – you cannot downgrade your device to an unsigned version even if the unsigned firmware is imported. The biggest difference between 3uTools and iTunes is that you can restore to alternative iOS versions and preserve your data.
  • Jailbreak – choose a jailbreak based on your iOS version and device. By using 3uTools instead of Cydia Impactor to download your jailbreak, you don’t need to use your Apple ID, and you don’t need to install the jailbreak .ipa file.
