It has not been a day since the release of iOS 7.1. Many users are updating to the new iOS 7.1 to get new features and performance enhancements. But some users who have jailbroken their iOS 7 device are bit worried too. Whether will they lost the JAILBREAK after updating? If Yes, is iOS 7.1 JAILBREAK coming in Future?
Here we have got answers for both questions. Coming to the first question, yes! You will lose the jailbreak if you updated to the latest iOS 7.1. Have a look on the tweet made by @MuscleNerd,
Jailbreakers stay away from today's iOS 7.1! Once you go up you can't downgrade again even with SHSH blobs (except i4).

So can we expect iOS 7.1 Jailbreak to come? Well, the answer is NO. The jailbreaker team Evad3rs have no plan of working on iOS 7.1 Jailbreak. They will particularly keep their work on iOS 8 Jailbreak. As said by pod2g:
“For iOS 7.1, I don’t know … there is a big chance the evad3rs won’t focus on it as a team … expect that for iOS 8 :)”
“If one day, I find myself bored and can put enough time and energy into it, I have some ideas for how to make a 7.1 jailbreak … depending on how it has been fixed and other external events.”
At the moment, we recommend you guys to stay away from the iOS 7.1 if you don’t want to lose your jailbreak. Moreover, you can’t even downgrade to iOS 7 if once upgraded. Need to wait for more updates to come.
