iOS 12 was released on September 17, 2018, and was succeeded by iOS 13 on September 19, 2019. iOS 12's end of life was on November 10, 2020, which means that it no longer receives any security updates from Apple. GreenSn0w software supports all releases of iOS 12.

As all other iCloud Bypass Tools from Euphoria GreenSn0w is also developed using python. It comes pre-built with the checkra1n app, enabling easy jailbreaking of your device.

A tethered iCloud Bypass is a type of jailbreak that requires the device to be connected to a computer and to run an iCloud Bypass tool every time the device is rebooted or powered off. This is in contrast to an untethered jailbreak, which allows the device to be rebooted and still maintain the jailbreak state with all the iCloud Bypass advantages.

It is important to note that bypassing iCloud security measures is not considered ethical and may compromise user data. Additionally, such activities may be illegal and could result in consequences for those who engage in them.
