I would like to jailbreak my iPhone but have never done that before and don't know what is accessible. Can anyone give me some instructions?
If I knew what to search for I would but don't want o mess up with inaccessible methods.

I would not recommend you doing that
In the first place I’ve never heard of any accessible way to do that and the second place if you do jailbreak your iPhone you will probably lose Apple support for your iPhone because of what it would do to iOS software
It's fine
No reason to scare someone into not trying this. You can always reload your phone from a backup and Apple support won't know anything about the fact that you had a jailbroken phone. Jailbreaking can lead to some mild instability on your phone, but on the other hand you also get some new tools to deal with problems, like respringing (reloading the graphical environment). Back in the day I jailbroke my iphone, and I could do things like hit the volume buttons to restart Voiceover, which helped a lot when it got stuck.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about the current methods of jailbreaking your iPhone. The old Cydia tweak download application was pretty accessible once you're on the other side and jailbroken, though, or at least it was back in the day. I've also heard the process is a lot easier than it used to be. Maybe get some sighted assistance for a couple hours, try the jailbreak, and then report back here. Maybe you'll encourage me to jailbreak again as well :) Good luck.
Doesn't jailbreaking your…
Doesn't jailbreaking your iPhone causes you to not be able to update your IOS software?
I.e.. If I for example jailbreak my iPhone, which has IOS 14.7 on it, and then if IOS 15 gets released, can I update my iPhone to IOS 15 without any problems?
Thanks
Okay I made it. I am having…
Okay I made it. I am having a little trouble. I cannot see what the apps in cydia are for. Just a little strange things.
Android for inventors.
Hi!
If you want to jail break your iPhone, then take an android and you won't need to jail your iPhone. My opinion and nothing more.
Cheers!

FYI I think that apple will not fix any issue if you brake your phone.
What Does Jailbreaking iOS Mean?
Necromancing threads for spam?
I wouldn't follow the link posted above if I was any of you, especially if you haven't updated to the latest version of iOS, because the above is spam at best and scam to own your device at worst.
Pro Tip regarding links
VoiceOver for iOS has a function that will allow VO to read aloud a hyperlink without double tapping on it. It requires assigning a gesture to it, but I would highly recommend everyone do this. For me, I use the two finger triple tapped gesture, as I have item Chooser set to a different gesture. It is especially helpful, when somebody posts a hyperlink, and you are unsure of where that link actually takes you.
HTH.
What is this function called?
I've searched the word "link" in the vo settings, but can't figure out which command this is.
The only one that only partially made sense to me was move to linked item, but nothing happened.
This does sound super useful though.
As for jailbreaking, it's pretty much dead at this point.
Cydia is no longer being developed, and no modern versions of iOs support it.
