Apple launched the iOS 9, an upgraded edition of its mobile operating system, this September. And now, Pangu, a popular team of developers from China, has released tools to jailbreak iPhones and iPads running on iOS 9.

In the past, jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad was a tedious process. Chinese developers like Pangu and TaiG, however, have released simple tools that allow users to jailbreak their iPhones and iPad in few minutes.

Pangu’s new tool for jailbreaking iOS 9 even supports the most recent iOS 9.0.2 version. Currently, the tool is usable only on a Windows PC, 9to5 Mac reported.
