Once upon a time, a developer wanted more from their iPhone’s Messages app. That resulted in the creation of a jailbreak tweak called MessagesXI several years back.

Jailbreak Apps & Tweaks
These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
Squad is the ultimate Messages app tweak, complete with message grouping, quick responses, & more…
Apple made it a little bit easier to find important conversations in the Messages app when they introduced conversation pinning, but this feature doesn’t work for everyone since it can be limiting in the number of conversations you can pin at any given time.
Add a splash of color and other custom aesthetics to the Messages app with Abstract
So you’ve just jailbroken your iPhone or iPad with the new Dopamine jailbreak for A12-A15 devices running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1, and now you’re wondering what you can do to customize the look and feel of your Messagesapp. Well, we might have a solution for you.
View how many messages you’ve exchanged with friends with SMSStats 3
Do you ever wonder exactly how much time you spend texting your friends, or perhaps even the number of messages you’ve exchanged? There’s a certain ‘stats for nerds’ appeal to this concept that I find interesting, and if you’re in a similar boat, then you might take interest in a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed SMSStats 3 by iOS developer ExTBH.
iConnect improves the experience of multitasking while messaging others on your pwned iPhone
If you’ve ever went to use your iPhone to contact one of your friends or family members, and wished that there was an easier way to do it, then you might come to appreciate the likes of a new jailbreak tweak called iConnect by Hyperixa.
This jailbreak tweak makes it easier to rename group chats in iOS 14’s Messages app
One of the things you can do after starting a group chat in your iPhone’s native Messages app is rename the group chat to make it more distinguishable from others. Sadly, the process to do that is somewhat convoluted.
Avatar is a feature-packed Memoji & Animoji recorder that lets you share to more apps
Memoji is a feature Apple introduced starting with iOS 13 so that users could more easily express themselves via iMessage, and it has certainly evolved a bit since its conception.
Contacy provides jailbreakers with a better notification interface for messaging apps
The notification system on the iOS & iPadOS platforms hasn’t changed much in recent years. The stale interface is certainly due for an upgrade, and with iOS & iPadOS 15’s announcement just around the corner, there’s still no telling whether it will receive any changes in the next update.
Fortunately for jailbreakers, sitting around and waiting for Apple to change stuff like this isn’t the only option. That’s because Contacy is a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer XCXiao that brings a popular iOS & iPadOS notification concept originally seen on Reddit to fruition.
Some of the best jailbreak tweaks for iOS 14’s Messages app
Jailbreakers are continuously trying to tweak their devices to make them easier to use and/or more capable than they would be right out of the retail box. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of jailbreak tweaks that make this possible.
Given just how popular iMessage and SMS are for iPhone and iPad users (jailbroken and non-jailbroken alike), we’ve decided to make this piece to recap on a few different jailbreak tweaks that can upgrade the Messages app on iOS 14.
Snapify ports Snapchat’s Send button method to Apple’s Messages app
Heavy Snapchat users will recognize one particular workflow difference between messaging via the Snapchat app and messaging via Apple’s Messages app, be it iMessage or SMS; more specifically, it’s the lack of a Send button in the text field where you compose your message.
Nova is a new jailbreak tweak for scheduling outgoing SMS and iMessages
One of the things I’ve long wished to be able to do is schedule messages to be sent at a future date. Fast-forward many years later, and this still isn’t a native feature on the iPhone – not even for Apple’s feature-rich iMessage platform.
ChatWall lets jailbreakers set a wallpaper in the Messages app
On a bone stock iPhone, the Messages app sports a plain background — either black when using dark mode or white when using light mode. If you’ve ever craved something with a bit more pizzazz than that, then you’d be out of luck.
Fortunately for jailbreakers, running a bone-stock setup isn’t necessary, and a newly released and free jailbreak tweak named ChatWall by iOS developer Chr1s offers an effective way to change the Messages app’s background to virtually anything you want.
