iOS 9.3.3 Jailbreak FAQ: Everything in a nutshell

The iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak has only been out for about a week, but it seems there is still a lot of confusion about it. As we tried to clear things up for the Chinese version of the jailbreak, Pangu released an English version for all platforms, which really shook things up and added more confusion.

In this all-in-one FAQ post, we'll try to discuss the jailbreak from all angles, clearing up all any any remaining confusion that there might be.

Now that the English jailbreak tool for iOS 9.3.3 is out, will you jailbreak?

The jailbreak for iOS 9.2-9.3.3 has been out since last weekend, but it wasn't until Friday that Pangu got to launching an English version of the once Chinese-only jailbreak tool.

As we know many of you were holding out for an English jailbreak and for a few updates to the tool for stability, we're curious about whether or not you'll be making the jump now that the English tool is out.

What you need to know about the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak certificate expiry

The Pangu jailbreak for iOS 9.2-9.3.3 finally gives you a way to modify your device to your liking again on iOS 9.3.3 with your favorite jailbreak tweaks. Unfortunately, it's not without its faults; it relies on a certificate, which means it has an expiration date and will need to be re-signed.

In this tutorial, we'll talk about what you have to do to renew your iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak certificate when the time comes.

Tap to Translate tweak brings Android-style text translation to iOS

Google Translate is a very useful tool when you deal with pages or people that may write in different languages than your own. With it, you can immediately translate text from one language to another.

One of the great features of the Android platform is the Tap to Translate feature that lets you translate text from anywhere, and with a new free jailbreak tweak called Tap to Translate, you can now have this feature on your iOS devices as well.

How to play Pokémon GO on your jailbroken device

If you have a jailbroken iPhone, which is likely after this weekend's release of the Pangu jailbreak for iOS 9.3.3, then you've probably already found that Pokémon GO can't run on a jailbroken device. It'll crash at startup instead.

In this tutorial, we'll show you a workaround so you can play Pokémon GO on your jailbroken iPhone without it crashing every time it starts up.

This tweak brings iOS 8-styled alerts back to iOS 9

iOS 9 made some UI refinements over iOS 8, despite the fact that most of the UI looks primarily the same as before. One of the things Apple tweaked were the alerts that can pop up on your screen from notifications.

In iOS 9, Apple changed the design a little bit and made the corners much rounder, and if you aren't a fan of the change, then a new jailbreak tweak called 8Alerts may tickle your fancy.

Apple is reportedly revoking some certificates used to jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 from Safari

Over the weekend, Pangu and 25PP launched a jailbreak for iOS 9.2-9.3.3, and not long after, iOS developers found a way to make the jailbreak possible via the Safari web browser without the need to use a computer.

Unfortunately, however, Apple appears to be blocking the enterprise certificate that has been used in this process, so attempting jailbreaks from the device itself isn't currently working.

Popular Springtomize 3 tweak updated with iOS 9.3.3 support

Springtomize 3 is arguably one of the most popular jailbreak tweaks in Cydia today, mostly because of its vast array of customization options for the multiple features throughout iOS.

Despite an iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak having dropped without much warning, the developer maintaining Springtomize 3 has already launched an update with full support for the new jailbreak from Pangu.

Did you or will you jailbreak iOS 9.3.3?

Pangu came through with an official jailbreak for iOS 9.2-9.3.3 over the weekend, and despite the fact that it's a semi-untethered jailbreak, it's still a sight for sore eyes.

We want to know whether or not you're going to be jailbreaking your iOS 9.3.3 device, or if you have already, so we're hosting this poll so you can put in your two cents!
