Frequently Asked Questions
Can I jailbreak iOS 17?
Yes, iOS 17 supports jailbreaking on specific devices using tools like palera1n. Check the device compatibility list above.
Is it safe to jailbreak iOS 17?
palera1n is the tool people actually use on iOS 17. It requires a computer to re-apply after each reboot, but doesn't touch the bootloader either. Back up your device before installing either way.
Semi-untethered or semi-tethered — which type is this?
iOS 17 jailbreaks use semi-tethered tools. See jailbreakly.com/guide/jailbreak-types for what that means for daily use and reboots.
