iOS 26 Gets First Jailbreak Thanks to Dopamine

Friday August 7, 2026 1:56 pm PDT by Aaron Perris<br>After 326 days, iOS 26 has received its first jailbreak, thanks to the developers behind the popular Dopamine jailbreak.

Lars Fröder, better known as opa334, today released Dopamine 3.0, which adds support for a number of newer firmware versions, including iOS 26.0 and iOS 26.0.1 on devices with A12 or A13 chips.

Another major addition in today's release is support for all devices running iOS 16.5.1 through iOS 17.3.1, significantly expanding the range of devices and software versions compatible with Dopamine.

A full breakdown of supported devices and iOS versions can be found on AppleDB, a database that tracks jailbreak compatibility.
