Apple has released iOS 9.2, which comes with a handful of security fixes, bug fix, and some new features, but for some users, the important question is when we’ll see an iOS 9.2 jailbreak. Here’s what you should know about that.
Pangu released a jailbreak in October for iOS 9.0, but iOS 9.1 quickly released soon after that killed the jailbreak for anyone who updated to that new version. Since then, a newer jailbreak has yet to release, but hopefully we’ll see one soon now that iOS 9.2 is out.

It was odd enough that Pangu released the jailbreak when they did when everyone knew that iOS 9.1 was right around the corner, but at that point the jailbreak was already patched up in the iOS 9.1 beta, so the jailbreak release was warranted at that point.
In any case, if you’re interested in an iOS 9.2 jailbreak now that the new update is out, here are some things you should know about it.
Don’t Update to iOS 9.2 Yet
First of all, it’s important that if you’re currently jailbroken, you don’t update to iOS 9.2 right away, because you’ll lose your jailbreak and you won’t be able to downgrade back to iOS 9.0.
Of course, if you wanted to, you could take the risk and update to iOS 9.2 right now in order to take advantage of the new features and bug fixes, especially if you’re having issues with iOS 9.1. You’ll lose your jailbreak, but hopefully an iOS 9.2 jailbreak will release soon enough and you’ll be able to re-jailbreak sooner or later.
However, if you can wait, it’s probably better to stay on iOS 9.0 and remain jailbroken until an iOS 9.2 jailbreak releases. Then you can update to iOS 9.2 without a problem.
An iOS 9.2 Jailbreak Is Rumored
Jailbreaking developers like Pangu and TaiG rarely share their progress toward a new jailbreak, so it’s sort of like Schrodinger’s Cat as far as its existence is concerned: You can either look at it as an iOS 9.2 jailbreak existing or not existing, but you won’t know until Pangu opens up the box.
However, it’s actually rumored that Pangu has an iOS 9.2 jailbreak working as we speak, and they’re just waiting to release it until they can get their hands on a final version of iOS 9.2 to see if it patches up the jailbreak exploits.
Of course, we’re taking this with a grain of salt, especially considering that new jailbreak rumors are rarely ever a thing since developers don’t discuss their progress with new jailbreaks, and that includes Pangu.
In any case, though, it’s probably a good guess that Pangu or TaiG is working on a jailbreak as we speak that will work with iOS 9.2, so if there’s a rumor that does say that an iOS 9.2 jailbreak is being worked on, it’s probably mostly true anyway.
However, a release date for a new jailbreak is what no one really knows about, and that goes for an iOS 9.2 jailbreak that may or may not arrive soon. So at this point, it’s safe to say that someone is working on a new jailbreak, but there’s no official word as far as when we’ll see it.
