Things to Consider Before Removing Cydia, Jailbreak?

Before you proceed to remove Cydia and Jailbreak on your iOS device, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Remember your iCloud account details: After removing Jailbreak, your device may ask you to log back into iCloud. Make sure you remember your account details and password.
• Use the appropriate method: There are several ways to remove Jailbreak and Cydia, but not all of them are safe for your device. Do your research and choose a recommended and proven method.
