Pangu was recently reported to have made a successful attempt in jailbreaking the iOS 9.3.3 system. The working jailbreak tool for the said iOS version was released by the China-based mobile hacking group earlier this month. Unfortunately, many users reported several issues regarding the jailbreak tool, with some of them choosing to revert their iOS to the previous version in order to remove Pangu's software. With this, it is now rumored that Pangu will no longer support the said jailbreak tool.

WCCF Tech reported that the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak led some users to use the Cydia Eraser to undo the changes made by Pangu's latest tool. The Cydia Eraser, however, will also erase the iOS 9.3.3 updates on the users' iPhones and iPads, reverting the operating system back to iOS 9.3.2.

According to Yibada, Pangu is now considering their latest jailbreak tool for the iOS 9.3.3 as useless. Aside from the issues of the users with their jailbreak tool, Apple has been reported to release the updated iOS 9.3.5 version that will further strengthen the security settings of the Apple devices. This is the reason why the current version of Pangu's iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak can no longer customize the settings of the iOS.

The good thing for the group is that there is a chance for them to bounce back with the upcoming full release of the iOS 10. While its previous efforts to develop a functional jailbreak tool for the iOS 9 OS versions were not always successful, Pangu is reportedly able to jailbreak the iOS 10 easily. In one occasion, Pangu was able to run Cydia in an Apple device with the iOS 10 beta.

To note, however, Apple has not yet released the full and final version of the iOS 10. It is possible that the final version will be equipped with tighter security measures and render it difficult to jailbreak. Nevertheless, the rumors are rife that Pangu will release their iOS 10 jailbreak tool by October. Pangu has not yet confirmed that their group will release the jailbreak for iOS 10 soon, so the public should take these early information with a grain of salt.
