Nowadays a new term ‘jail breaking1 is in use. It implies a process :

The term 'jailbreaking' refers to the process of removing software restrictions imposed by a device manufacturer, most commonly associated with Apple's iOS. By bypassing these built-in limitations, users gain root access or administrator-level permissions to the operating system. This process allows the installation of unauthorized software and applications that are not available on the official App Store, such as custom themes, emulators, or specialized file managers. While it provides greater customization and choice, it also removes critical safety barriers, potentially exposing the device to security risks like malware and instability. In the context of Android devices, a similar process of gaining administrative control is referred to as 'rooting'. The term 'jailbreaking' is derived from the idea of freeing the user from the 'jail' of manufacturer-imposed limitations.
