Chinese team Pangu has released the first untethered jailbreak for iOS 9 – iOS 9.0.2.

iOS 9 includes a number of

new features such as the abilityswitch back to the previous app, proactive assistant, travel directions in the Maps app, enhanced multitasking capabilities for iPad, a new News app, an updated Notes app, and a power-saving mode.

One of the frequently asked questions sincerelease of the Pangu iOS 9 jailbreak remains – Is it necessary to jailbreak iOS 9? Are there enough reasons to jailbreak iOS 9, because iOS 9 made many jailbreak tweaks useless.

Please note that at the time of writing, most of the tweaks mentioned in this article were not compatible with iOS 9, but as of today, most of the tweaks have received iOS 9 support.

We think there are still good reasons to jailbreak iOS 9 when it comes out. Here are some of the main reasons:

1. Themes

Jailbreaking allows you to customize in every way possible.your device. You can install themes to change the look and feel of your iPhone, using Winterboard you can turn your iPhone into an Android phone or turn your iPad into a Mac. Jailbreak tweaks allow you to add a 5-icon to the dock, an additional row of keys for the iOS virtual keyboard, change the cellular operator logo, and much more.
You can also change the icons of apps you don't like. You can see an example of excellent iPhone customization using jailbreak tweaks.

2. Settings

In addition to the design, suchTweaks like Springtomize 3 allow you to very finely customize iOS, for example, increase the number of applications in the dock to 10, create a CoverFlow effect for the dock, change the duration of system animation, remove page restrictions, configure default animations, lock screen, hide standard application icons, change icon size and much more.

3. Improvements to the Messages app

In iOS 8, Apple updated the Messages app and added interesting features such as audio messages, self-deletion of attachments, and interactive notifications.

However, jailbreak tweakslike MessageCustomiser allow you to completely change the look and feel of the Messages app. It's a shame that BiteSMS hasn't been updated for iOS 8 and likely won't be updated for iOS 9, but tweaks like Columba have tried to add features to BiteSMS like quick delete, forwarding, scheduling, and message templates that make the Messages app even better.

3. Improving the lock screen

Tweaks like IntelliScreenX allow you to addLots of useful information in the notification center and on the lock screen. The tweak adds mail, RSS, Facebook, and Twitter to the notification center, expands the calendar view to 2 weeks, and adds a new way to quickly reply and create messages without requiring you to go to the Messages app. It also adds a nifty way to quickly access all of the above from the lock screen.

4. Improving the control center

In the control center, we can controlonly 5 system points, and the icons for quick launch of only 4 applications/functions remain unchanged. CCSettings fixes this by allowing you to customize the control center, add additional top row toggles, as well as additional app quick launch icons on the bottom row.

5. For advanced users

Advanced users will use 3DTouch iPhone 6S lets you quickly view emails or SMS messages, easily navigate to the previous app, and even turn your iPhone keyboard into a trackpad.

But this technology will not replace Activator. It is still the tweak that every advanced jailbreak user should have. It allows you to bind to certain actions, certain functions or applications that can be called from anywhere in iOS.

There are a huge number of possible actions,for example, double-tap on the status bar, triple-tap the Home button, double-tap the Power button, any of these actions can be linked to calling an application or going to any settings. This tweak offers almost limitless possibilities to make using your iPhone even easier and faster.

6. Find iPhone +

Apple has created a useful application Find iPhone, cThe ability to lock a stolen iOS device, however, this app still doesn't offer the capabilities offered by jailbreak tweaks like iCaughtU Pro, which can take a photo of the person entering the password on a stolen or lost device using the front camera and prevent your device from shutting down . Such tweaks have more than once helped to catch a thief who was unaware of such an anti-theft system.

7. Default application association

One of the main limitations of iOS isinability to set your favorite third-party application as the default application (for example, so that links open not in Safari, but in Google Chrome). Jailbreak tweaks will help you with this: MapsOpener, allows you to install the default Google Maps application instead of Apple maps and BrowserChooser allows you to change the default browser.

9. Put a password on a folder or application, or set access via TouchID

Tweaks such as Asphelia, BioLockdown, Bioprotect or AppLocker allow you to log into applications or folders only using Touch ID.

10. Protect your eyes

Everyone has experienced the fact that late at night duringthe first few seconds after unlocking the iPhone is almost blinding. The F.lux tweak aims to solve this problem by adjusting the color of your iPhone's display to better adapt to the time of day.

11. File manager

iOS 9 includes the iCloud Drive app.But it is still very limited. The iFile app offers a complete file manager and viewer for iPhone. This gives full access to the file system, including system files. iFile also allows you to edit text files, properties that can sometimes be useful.

12. Changing transition animations

The Barrel tweak adds animation of transitions between desktop screens.

13. Changing the system font

BytaFont 2 allows you to change the system font on your iPhone. It allows you to change the font of apps, lock screen and more.

14. Always active “Hey Siri” on older devices

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus finally haveThe always-on "Hey Siri" feature is available, which means you can use Siri without connecting your device to a power source. But thanks to the UntetheredHeySiri tweak, on jailbroken devices you can make the “Hey Siri” even on older devices.

15. Unlock new iOS 9 features that are only available on iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus

We expect that the developers of tweaks for Cydiautilize iPhone 6s features such as “3D Touch”. We also have to wait to see if it will be possible to use jailbreak to copy iOS 9 features, such as split-screen multitasking with older devices that are only available on the iPad Air 2.

IOS 9 jailbreak status

The good news is that iOS 9 is alreadyhacked. A few weeks ago, iH8sn0w, the developer of popular tools such as Jailbreak Sn0wbreeze, P0sixspwn, published a video demonstrating that iOS 9 is jailbreakable. He has no plans to release a jailbreak for iOS 9, so we'll just have to wait for Pangu or Taig. But the fact that iOS 9 can be jailbroken gives us some hope that the iOS 9 jailbreak will be released much earlier than the iOS 8 jailbreak was released. Let us remember that it came out months after the release of iOS 8.

The iOS 9.1 update is already available for developers, and it is likely that the jailbreak will be released for iOS 9.1 rather than iOS 9.
