Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Not even one week after Apple officially released iOS and iPadOS 14 to the general public, the checkra1n team has released checkra1n version 0.11.0 with support for Apple’s latest and greatest mobile operating system (albeit with a catch).
The checkra1n Twitter page shared the announcement late Monday night, followed closely by commentary from Todesco himself:
Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services available for the iOS & iPadOS platforms apart from Apple's own Apple Music streaming service. But if anything’s painfully obvious, it’s the fact that Apple nerfs the functionality of third-party apps and services that compete with its own by limiting what they can do on their platform; this effectively makes Apple’s own services look better by comparison, and intentionally so.
If you’re an avid Spotify user and you also have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then you could probably benefit from the likes of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Zefy by iOS developer udevs. This tweak implements a few handy workarounds for iOS to make Spotify feel more like a native music player than just a third-party alternative to Apple’s.
If you’re an Odyssey jailbreak user and you aren’t taking advantage of the Wander extension for Apple’s native Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad, then you’re seriously missing out. Wander lets you quickly install or update the Odyssey jailbreak on your iOS or iPadOS 13 devices with only a few taps via your favorite installation method, and it was updated Sunday evening to version 1.2 with a few notable improvements.
Wander developer BurritoSoftware announced the new Wander v1.2 update via Twitter, and from what we can gather, this isn’t an update you’ll want to miss:
Hacker and checkra1n jailbreak team member Luca Todesco turned quite a few heads Sunday evening after posting a rather peculiar Tweet that appeared to tease substantial progress on an iOS 14 jailbreak.
The Tweet, embedded below, states “popped 14 so to celebrate I got a new pfp (profile picture).”
Jailbreak-centric developments have unquestionably slowed down in recent weeks, an unfortunate side effect of the impending hardware unveilings and software updates that Apple has in store for us around this time of the year. On the other hand, jailbreak tweak releases are still a regular thing.
In this roundup, we’ll be discussing all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, September 14th to Sunday, September 20th. As usual, we’ll start things off by talking about some of our favorite releases from this past week and then wrap things up with an outline comprised of everything else afterward.
If you’re rocking a jailbroken iPhone or iPad and are looking for fun and exciting ways to spice up the user experience, then you should definitely consider taking a minute out of your day to check out a newly released jailbreak tweak called ExplosiveIcons by iOS developer Wes.
Just as the name implies, ExplosiveIcons makes it fun to delete apps from your iPhone or iPad by providing users with an exciting animation upon doing so. Below, you’ll find an animated GIF depicting the newfangled animation in all its glory:
There’s no doubt that Apple pours tons of cash into researching and developing some of the best mobile camera experiences for smartphones in the world, but that doesn’t make it perfect. In fact, low-light photography is one area in particular where the iPhone’s camera seems to lag behind some of the competition.
If Apple’s native Night Mode feature isn’t enough for you, then you might want to consider upping your ante and trying a new jailbreak tweak called Lumi by iOS developer FoxfortMobile. Lumi requires a jailbroken device to work, but the results are particularly pleasant, especially if you’re an amateur iPhone photographer and struggle to capture the ideal shot in the most demanding of low-light conditions.
iOS is a very user-friendly platform when it comes to Bluetooth device connectivity. On the other hand, ease of use comes with certain trade-offs, such as the scope of configurability and advanced settings and/or features.
If you walk among the plethora of iPhone power users out there, and you use a lot more Bluetooth devices than the average Joe, then we think you might benefit from the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed BTManager+ by iOS developer Beckett O’Brien.
It’s been an action-packed week for Apple, especially with all the recent hardware unveilings taking place, but that hasn’t stopped the folks over at the Odyssey Team from dropping an updated version of the iOS 13-based Odyssey jailbreak.
In an announcement shared to Twitter Monday afternoon, the Odyssey Team noted that it had released Odyssey version 1.1.1 with vital bug fixes and performance improvements:
One of the things Apple does really well is provide a quality music streaming service that can be accessed from all of your favorite devices, whether they’re mobile handsets or desktop computers. On the other hand, Apple could always do better by improving the experience of the user interface, especially in terms of music control accessibility on the iOS & iPadOS platforms.
Jailbreakers know all too well about the many shortcomings of Apple’s stock user interface, and that’s one reason why there are so many jailbreak tweaks available to the aftermarket. MediaBar14, for example, is a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer MegaDev that lends a hand to Apple’s user interface in this particular department.
It was only a couple of months ago that we gave you the grand tour of a jailbreak tweak called iAutoReply by iOS developer MeBlackHat, which effectively allowed you to set up automatic replies for incoming texts to help you manage the bevy of messages you might receive when you’re unable to respond immediately.
It was only a matter of time before someone said, “but what about (insert third-party messaging service here),” and thus a new jailbreak tweak dubbed iWhatsApp was conceived.
With Apple dropping software updates for its iPhones and iPads as frequently as they do nowadays, it’s particularly exciting when a hacker claims that they’ve pwned one of the company’s latest versions of iOS and/or iPadOS.
The most recent announcement to shake things up came by way of hacker @08Tc3wBB last month in the form of a new exploit for iOS 13.6.1 that allegedly used a different method to achieve its ends than the more traditional tfp0 method that we see in modern jailbreaks like Odyssey and unc0ver. On Monday, the same hacker appeared to validate that the newer iOS 13.7 would be vulnerable to jailbreak-centric exploitation:
