How to Jailbreak a Firestick in 30 Seconds (September 2022)

[Stallion]

What is Jailbreaking a Firestick?​

Jailbreaking a firestick is also called “side-loading,” which means installing 3rd party applications (APKs) not available within the Amazon App Store.

This is common with many VOD apps, IPTV services, players, live TV apps, device cleaning tools, Kodi, file managers, streaming websites, M3U files, and other applications.

This process works on any Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, IPTV boxes, and any device that runs the Android operating system (OS).

In other words, you can think of jailbreaking as the process of unlocking your Firestick and allowing you to access an endless supply of content on the internet.

Thankfully this is an easy process and is perfect for everyone. Even for those with little technical knowledge.

Is Jailbreaking a Firestick Legal?​

Yes, jailbreaking a firestick is 100% legal. This is a question IPTV Wire receives quite often.

While jailbreaking became a popular term for iPhones and Apple devices, the process for an Amazon Firestick/Fire TV is different.

By enabling Unknown Sources within settings, we are simply allowing for the installation of 3rd party apps or addons not available within the Amazon App Store.

While installing these apps is not illegal in any way, streaming some of the content within these is.


That is why it is important to only use 3rd party applications for public domain movies along with legal IPTV providers.

Also, to safeguard your privacy, always use a VPN (more on this later).
