Are you looking for the best method on how to update Movie Box on your iPhone or iPad? While some of you may know the app by its older name, Show Box has now been rebranded as Movie Box, offering the same great entertainment. The latest version of Movie Box is available across iPhone and iPad running iOS 9 and older.
If you are setting up your new iOS device, or just updated your iDevice to the latest iOS version, you will also need to know how to update Show Box. While there are plenty of free movies and TV shows apps for iOS, none of them are as well-built or regularly updated as Movie Box.
Most of these apps require a jailbroken iOS device, which is not available for the latest iOS version right now. Since not all of us are a fan of jailbreaking our iOS devices, this guide on how to update Movie Box contains a jailbreak and non-jailbreak method to get the app on your iDevice.
Note: Since Movie Box lets you watch all the latest movies and videos without spending a dime, it makes it different from your typical iOS app. You can’t install Movie Box from the App Store, and you also have to grant Movie Box explicit permission to run on your device.
