Install Kodi on iPad and iPhone without Jailbreak

As you probably already know, Kodi is probably the most versatile tool for cord cutters and video streamers alike. Its media player apps are accessible on all operating systems including iOS and it allows users to stream just about any media content, anywhere. It also provides access to a few region-locked contents albeit using a few workarounds.

In this article you will find a tutorial of how to install Kodi on an iPad or iPhone without jailbreak your iOS device.

Important Step: Bypass Geolocation and Protect Yourself with a VPN

Talking about region-locked content lets discuss how you bypass that first. Geolocking is something that is unfortunately quite common. It occurs when specific content is only available in a specific country or region of the world. This happens for a variety of reasons (licensing etc.) but as someone trying to access that content, it is very tiresome!

With a VPN though, its fairly easy to bypass these restrictions. You see, VPNs create a virtual tunnel between your device and the destination server that you are attempting to access. This server (located in the country where the content is accessible) provides you with a local IP address which in essence masks your true location.

With a VPN – not only are you able to bypass geolocation, you are also protected in all of your browsing. You see that virtual tunnel I talked about earlier – well it secures and encrypts ALL of your traffic so that NO ONE – including your ISP – can see what you are doing.

All of this security does, however, come with a bit of a price – you see, since your connection is being filtered/passed through another service, there is the potential for it to slow down somewhat. You have to think that if all of your traffic is going through a tunnel if that tunnel is not large enough for what you want to transmit and receive, it’s going to cause bottlenecks. Watching something and having it buffer is extremely frustrating but fortunately, the VPN I’m going to be talking about is Surfshark.

Surfshark is probably the best of the bunch right now and is specifically designed for streaming content. It has servers all over the world letting you bypass geotargeting & even better? We’ve got a special offer for our readers giving you 82% off, just click here!

Would you like to know more? Here are 5 reasons why you need a VPN while streaming.

Get Kodi on your non-jailbroken Apple Device

Apple products have a concern with piracy issues with Kodi and for several security reasons, it is sometimes complicated to get it up set up and running with iOS devices.

This article contains all the information you need though to install Kodi on your Apple device. Kodi can be installed on a jailbroken device quite easily but it’s also possible to install it on devices that have not been jailbroken. Below, we’ll be illustrating methods which don’t include jailbroken devices, as it is more convenient.

The best method for a non-jailbroken iPhone or iPad is by using Tweakbox or Cydia Impactor.
