If you're looking to enhance the performance of your jailbroken iOS device and eliminate unnecessary files, iCleaner is the ideal app for you. With its powerful tools, iCleaner can effectively clean up junk files, delete unused languages, manage Cydia Substrate Add-ons, and much more. The application supports rootful and rootless jailbreaks.

What is iCleaner Pro?

iCleaner Pro is a powerful tool for optimizing the performance of your jailbroken iPhone or iPad by removing unnecessary files and freeing up space on your device. It is compatible with all jailbroken versions from iOS 4 – iOS 15, and it is available in both Pro and Free versions.

At the core of iCleaner Pro is its ability to clean and optimize your iOS system. In a recent update, Ivano Bilenchi introduced new features that expand the app's capabilities to optimize iPhones on various jailbreaks. Starting with version 7.10, iCleaner Pro now supports rootless Fugu15 Max Beta and Dopamine jailbreaks released for iOS 15 to iOS 15.4.1.

iCleaner can delete message attachments sent and received via iMessage or MMS, free up memory by removing Safaris cookies, browsing history, and cache files, clean app caches, cookies, temporary files, snapshots, downloaded iOS update files, log, and temporary files.

In addition to its core optimization features, iCleaner Pro offers a range of customizable cleanup options. Users can configure filetype cleanup based on file extensions, with the app's default settings targeting log and temp files across the entire directory tree. Furthermore, the app's “Custom files and folders” feature allows you to add any file or folder to the cleanup process.

Another valuable feature of iCleaner Pro for iOS 15 is its ability to remove unnecessary localization assets from your iPhone. This includes languages from iOS and any app that supports localization, keyboard files, and additional languages used by Siri and Voice Control.

However, it's important to note that removing languages and images may also impact IPA files transferred from the device to iTunes, with English language files being preserved as a security measure. Finally, iCleaner Pro for iOS 15 offers users the flexibility to enable or disable specific system scans for junk files directly from the main screen of the app.

One of the notable features of iCleaner Pro for iOS 15 is its ability to conduct system analysis without deleting any files. This enables you to identify how many unnecessary files are still present on their device, without the risk of accidentally deleting important data.

iCleaner Pro can do much more. Use it to wipe the list of available APT packages, remove the dictionaries used by the defined function of your device, remove the stock wallpapers that come with your iOS device, or move the “Fonts” folder from/to the System partition.

Create and restore backups, view log files from all operations, change themes, remove additional images for Retina display or iPad.

It also offers support for running the app from the command line on your jailbroken iOS device. This allows you to access the app's features from a terminal app or an SSH console. The command line interface is a simplified version of GUI, and it provides some useful features.

iCleaner is a tool that is specifically designed to be used on jailbroken iOS devices. It requires access to certain system files and processes that are not available on non-jailbroken devices. Therefore, iCleaner cannot be installed or used on non-jailbroken devices.

Recently, iCleaner has been updated to version 7.10, and now it works also with iOS 15 jailbreaks (XinaA15 and Palera1n). In the latest update of iCleaner, certain features have been removed for rootless jailbreaks on iOS 15+. This includes the ability to disable wallpapers, languages, and assets tools, as these features are no longer functional on this version of iOS.

iCleaner vs iCleaner Pro

iCleaner and iCleaner Pro are both tools that allow you to optimize the performance of your jailbroken iOS device by cleaning up unnecessary files and optimizing system processes. However, there are some key differences between the two versions.

iCleaner Free is a free version displaying ads. It also offers fewer features related to jailbroken devices. In comparison, iCleaner Pro is a paid version offering additional tools, such as the ability to manage Cydia Substrate add-ons, Launch daemons, and Preference Bundles.

iCleaner Pro also includes a built-in preference file removal tool and a fully customizable cleanup setup. If you want access to these advanced features, you will need to purchase iCleaner Pro.

iCleaner vs iCleaner Pro

Launch daemons are background processes that run on your iOS device. iCleaner Pro allows you to disable these daemons, which can be useful if you want to disable certain system functions such as OTA updates or error logging. Preference Bundles are files that manage the preferences for tweaks that you have installed via Cydia in the Settings app.

Cydia Substrate add-ons are modifications or enhancements to your iOS system that you can install via Cydia. iCleaner Pro provides you with the ability to easily disable these add-ons with a single tap, while still keeping them installed on your device. This can be useful if you want to temporarily disable certain tweaks without uninstalling them completely.

Command Line

iCleaner can be run and managed from the command line on your jailbroken iOS device using a terminal app like NewTerm. This also allows you to access some app's features from your Desktop by connecting to your device via ssh server. This can be a convenient way to clean up and optimize your iPhone, especially if you prefer to do so from your macOS.

Using the command line, you can restore Daemons, Mobile Substrate add-ons, and Preference Bundles to their default state, as well as access the app's simple GUI and change the app settings. Activate Test Mode, change the message attachment scanning method, set custom files and folders, manage excluded apps, set languages to remove, save log files, and more.

iCleaner from terminal

There are several terminal commands that you can use to manage and run iCleaner on your jailbroken iOS device. Here is a list of some available commands:

icleaner
-clean
-clean -autorespring
-respring
-restore-togglable-items
