- AltStore PAL has introduced the first batch of third-party software, allowing EU users to download apps that go against Apple’s App Store guidelines.
- The new additions include torrenting apps, which enable eligible users to download peer-to-peer files on their iPhones but without jailbreaking iOS.
- We advise you not to use torrenting apps to download pirated content because theft is a crime.
Apple has long banned torrenting apps on its App Store, as these tools are frequently used to infringe copyrights. While iOS users can bypass these restrictions by jailbreaking their devices, many can’t justify going through the cumbersome process. Fortunately for EU-based users, torrenting on iPhones has just gotten infinitely more accessible. Thanks to AltStore PAL, any eligible user can now download files peer-to-peer through torrents, without needing to modify the OS.
AltStore PAL announced on Threads that the first batch of third-party apps is now available to its users. Notably, the list includes iTorrent by X1TRIX — a native torrenting app for iPhones with support for Live Activities and Apple Files. To access it, you must add the iTorrent Source in AltStore PAL’s Sources screen. This will then reveal the app in the Browse section, along with a button to download it.
