I Tested UnlockGo, and Here Is What I Found

I’m an editor who loves testing iPhone software. Recently, I was caught by a versatile unlock toolkit for both iPhones and Android devices. I spent the whole day testing iToolab UnlockGo’s unlocking features for iOS devices, and here is what I found.

This post is based on my firsthand experience of its key features. I hope you can have an authentic perspective according to my testing.

Looking through UnlockGo’s unlocking features, the most highlighted one is to turn off the FMI feature without the Apple ID password. This is a core advantage over other iOS unlockers, because most iOS unlockers require users to disable the FMI feature before using the software.

However, it becomes much easier to unlock a second-hand device with UnlockGo. No matter whether I need to remove the previous owner’s Apple ID or bypass the iCloud Activation Lock, the software will guide me to disable FMI without the Apple ID password or jailbreak the device to temporarily bypass the FMI feature.

Unlock Screen Passcode

To test Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker’s ability to unlock screen passcodes, I grabbed my Plus my iPhone 6 and set up a 4-digit passcode on my test iPhone.

After connecting the device to my computer and launching the software, I chose the “Unlock Screen Passcode” option.

The process was straightforward. When my device was detected, I clicked to download the latest firmware package.

When it finished downloading the firmware, I clicked the “Unlock” button to initiate the unlocking process.

The progress bar showed that it would take 10 minutes to finish unlocking. Then the passcode was successfully removed.

Remove Apple ID

Next, I also used this iPhone 6 Plus to test how it could remove my Apple ID without a password.

Navigating back to the main interface, I selected the “Remove Apple ID” function.

Then the software asked me to download the firmware for my device. When it finished downloading, I clicked the “Unlock Now” button to get started.

For several minutes, my Apple ID was removed. The device restarted, and I followed the on-screen instructions to set up my device.

The whole process was straightforward, but I also noticed that it erased all data on my iPhone. This was a significant drawback.

It showed a high success rate in removing the Apple ID from an iPhone or iPad. However, some users also said that their device was blocked due to security reasons after using UnlockGo. What was worse, they had difficulty getting support to resolve the issue.

Unlock iCloud Activation Lock

When I attempted to set up my device after removing the Apple ID, I was stuck on the iCloud Activation lock. It required me to enter the Apple ID and password associated with the device.

I knew Apple provided this security measure against unauthorized use, but I didn’t remember the Apple ID or the password. Therefore, I had to bypass the iCloud Activation lock.

Then I chose the “Unlock iCloud Activation Lock” on the main interface. However, after it detected my device model, I followed the steps to enter the DFU mode.

Afterwards, the jailbreaking process started immediately. It might put my device into a vulnerable place to jailbreak the iPhone, so evaluate the risks carefully before jailbreaking your device.

For about 10 minutes, I bypassed the iCloud Activation lock successfully.

It’s worth your attention that this feature does not cover all iPhone models and iOS versions. It supports iPhone 5s to iPhone X. You should also check for iPad models. For example, a few users mentioned that the software didn’t support specific device models, such as iPad Mini 4. Besides, UnlockGo cannot support older iOS versions earlier than iOS 12.

Turn Off Find My iPhone

Then I tried to disable “Find My iPhone” with UnlockGo. I went to the main interface and chose “Turn off FMI”.

However, the bad news was that it didn’t support iOS 12. After checking the compatibility, I found it’s only compatible with iOS 13.0 or later and works with iPhone 6s to iPhone 12 Pro Max, as well as some iPad models.

Alternatively, I took out another iPhone 8. Considering it involved jailbreaking the device, I backed up my data in advance.

Then I connected the iPhone to the computer and took the on-screen steps to jailbreak my device. When it had disabled the FMI feature, I verified the FMI status.

After a few minutes, I successfully disabled the FMI feature without a password.

Delete Screen Time Passcode

Lastly, I tested the “Remove Screen Time passcode” feature. To ensure a successful removal, I checked the compatibility first. It supports all iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches that are running iOS 10.0 or later. Meanwhile, it won’t cause any data loss

Then I set a Screen Time passcode on my iPhone 6 and connected it to the computer. I chose the “Unlock Screen Time Passcode” mode and followed the instructions.

It took about 5 minutes to remove the Screen Time passcode. When it finished, I saw the interface below.

What I’ve Learned After Testing UnlockGo

After testing the main features of UnlockGo, I summarized some tips. If you want to try this iOS unlocker, check the list first.

• Most features, such as unlocking the screen passcode, removing the Apple ID, unlocking iCloud Activation lock, and turning off Find My iPhone, may lead to data loss. Make a backup before using these features.
• UnlockGo doesn’t support all iOS versions or iPhone or iPad models, especially the latest iOS versions and Apple models. Check the compatibility before unlocking with UnlockGo.
• For certain features, you might be required to jailbreak your device. Learn the risks before initiating the process.
• You might have difficulty getting support from customer service, as some users said that their problems weren’t resolved promptly or effectively. Save the evidence when you encounter any technical problems.

Why I Chose BuhoUnlocker as an Alternative to UnlockGo

At last, I chose BuhoUnlocker as an alternative to UnlockGo. It can also meet my common unlocking needs, such as unlocking screen passcode, removing Apple ID, bypassing MDM profiles, and unlocking Screen Time passcode. Also, I won't have to be concerned about compatibility issues because it accommodates a wide range of iOS versions from iOS 8 to iOS 17 and accommodates various Apple devices, including the new iPhone versions.

In addition, I was amazed by the support staff of BuhoUnlocker. With 24/7 technical support, I can get immediate and quick assistance every time I have a technical issue.

Conclusion

In summary, UnlockGo can not only unlock common locks but also turn off Find My iPhone and bypass the iCloud Activation lock without a password. However, you should check whether it could support your device, as it isn’t compatible with all iOS versions and Apple models. If you want to work on the latest iOS models, I recommend BuhoUnlocker.
