So you clicked on this video because you want to learn how to jailbreak your fire. stick you heard that doing this allows you to unlock everything including the, secrets to unlimited wealth okay let's, not go that far but there's actually a. lot more you can do on your fire stick. than you actually know now the term jailbreaking gets thrown around a lot, you're gonna see this term on a hundred fire stick videos including this one today but the truth is jailbreaking for your fire stick isn't the same as. jailbreaking your iPhone back in 2012.. in fact it's completely different and. extremely easy now really quick if you, guys are new to the channel hit that subscribe button right down below give. this video a big thumbs up and make sure you go and follow us on Instagram I have, a cute puppy down there and I do spam. photos to farm like so make sure you go, and follow us on Instagram at upgrade, guy official link Down Below in the description now we're going to jump right into the swing of things I don't. want to waste any more time so let's, head over to our fire stick and start to discuss some of these prints okay so the, first thing we have to talk about is, jailbreaking now jailbreaking basically. refers to the ability to unlock a device. so let's take your Amazon Fire stick for. example all of these apps right now on, your home front screen are apps that are. installed from the Amazon App Store so. they are all curated from Amazon they, check them they make sure they're safe. or let's go back to the example with, your Apple iPhone, because iOS back in the day is such a. limited system you had to get every app from the App Store so the ability to install publicly made or maybe apps that, weren't approved for iOS was basically impossible because their lock system so. jailbreaking basically referred to the, ability in for most people to go ahead, and install third-party apps now that's, not the the all of it but that's a very. basic summary so fire stick a lot of.
people don't know what does it run let's go to our uh. My Fire TV right here and go to about it, runs Fire TV OS now this is Amazon's, version of the Android operating system, basically now if you know anything about. Android Android uh you can install, pretty much any app on it right it's an. open operating system so companies are allowed to kind of finagle it and make their own branded skin which is kind of, what the fire stick OS is so Android apps are called APK so every single app, whether it's official or not let's go down until we find something like freebie TV here which is owned from. Amazon this is an APK file so whether. this was installed from the Amazon app, store or you installed it off of your, fire stick from a third-party Source it, still is an application that can be installed because of the Android based operating system so when you get all. these titles that are talking about. jailbreaking your fire stick they are. just referring to the ability to sideload your fire stick and I'll kind. of show you how to do that right now so, firestick has a hidden option it's called developers option I have it right here but not every device has a. developers option sometimes it's hidden Amazon did this about a year ago and I, think just to make it a little bit harder for people to install third-party apps as in you have to have a source. like me or you have to go online and, Google it in order to figure it out so if you go to the about section and you find this top option here it might say fire stick 4K it might say fire stick light it might say fire Cube or Fire TV, doesn't matter if you click on that five times it's going to turn you into a developer and developers options will. pop up right here and then you can turn. on apps from unknown sources which means your fire stick can now install any. Android APK on the device now that. doesn't mean everything will be, compatible with it but it allows you to.
do that so now for most devices I would suggest you just get a USB you put some, apks on it and then you plug it into, your device but with your fire stick you have no USB port unless you get a USB adapter like this one I have Down Below. in the description it's just an OTG. cable they're like six bucks and allows, you to actually use a USB with your fire stick now if that isn't an option you can also just download apps from the internet and Amazon has a ton of. different app browsers that allow you to. do this now there's some that are better, than others so let's go here for example so Amazon has Amazon silk so if you, don't know what silk is I believe it's. pre-installed on everything but silk is. Amazon's own app browser so you can use, that if you want it's a very popular web browser now if you watch this channel, you know the most popular web browser. out there for any fire stick or Android based device is downloader now, downloader took a lot of heat recently, if you missed the video I have it right out above here because they got a dmca claim because basically the company was um saying that downloader allows you to access websites which every browser does that's a nonsensical argument but the. fact is downloaders right here aftv news, downloaders is the web browser that just. prompts downloads when you download them, that's it so it saves you the step of. going inside of a file browser to. install it so download is a great choice. as well it's official in the App Store. and you guys can use it at any point so, check it out right there if you want now, if you guys are just starting out with, your fire stick I suggest watching this. video right out above here which teaches you everything you need to know about, your fire stick it's a 30 minute video it's probably the best tutorial out, there for all things fire stick so check that out if you're a newbie thanks for, watching guys and and girls or anybody else doesn't, matter.
