Currently, the two official versions of iOS 12 are iOS 12.1.3 and iOS 12.1.4. If you are in the above two major versions but want to escape, you can downgrade to iOS 12.1.1 Beta 3, Apple has not closed the verification channel. In addition, unc0ver has complete support for Cydia and Substrate, ensuring a complete experience after jailbreak.
Although the jailbreak is getting useless, it is still just needed for users who need to have call recording, notification banner UI, and more… You can download the latest beta of unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12 – iOS 12.1.2 here.
