Apple File Conduit 2 for iOS 10/10.1.1/10.2 [DOWNLOAD]

A lot of users are unable to use their device with unofficial tools. To do this, you must install Apple File Conduit 2 fist. Here’s how to do it.

What is Apple File Conduit 2?

Apple File Conduit (AFC) is the “link” between applications such as iTunes and your iOS device. It allows these programs to read and write files from your device through a USB connection.

However, it doesn’t grant complete access. It only allows access to media files like photos, music, official App Store applications data.

This is where Saurik’s Apple File Conduit 2 comes in. It creates a new “link” called AFC2 that grants complete access to the filesystem.

If you are using a device management tool, it might require AFC2 to work.

Why do I need Apple File Conduit 2 for iOS 10?

Jailbreak tools no longer come bundled with AFC extensions. It is required for programs such as iFunbox, DiskAid, and AnyTrans. So if you want to use any of these programs, you should install the AppleFile Conduit “2” Debian package from Cydia.

It is also useful in case you need to manually remove tweak files.

Apple File Conduit 2 is recommended for users that really use this functionality. If you think you are good without it, there’s no need to install it.

Now on to the tutorial.
