If you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then we think you might come to enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed FingerLock by iOS developer MTAC.
Citing the details provided to us in the tweakâs Cydia depiction, FingerLock provides the user with a bevy of Lock screen-centric customization options that can help it stand out from the crowd. The tweak purportedly includes the following features:
- Customize the styling of the unlock button
- Long press or Tap to unlock
- Change the unlock buttonâs Y coordinate (height)
- Enable one of four unique haptic feedback patterns when unlocking
- Skip the passcode after respringing your device
- Hide the Lock screenâs unsightly page dots
- Hide the âPress home to unlockâ or âSwipe up to unlockâ text
- And much moreâŚ
Upon installing the tweak, youâll find a dedicated preference pane in the Settings app where you can configure it however you like:
Here, you can:
- Toggle FingerLock on or off on demand
- Enable or disable the Lock screenâs unlock button
- Choose between tap or long press to unlock
- Configure the unlock buttonâs height on the Lock screen
- Choose between one of four haptic feedback types:
- Peek
- Pop
- Vibrate
- None
- Enable passcode skipping when respringing your device
- Hide the Lock screenâs page dots
- Hide the Lock screenâs unlock text
The developer provides two options at the bottom of the preference pane, including an Apply button to save your settings and a Reset button to revert them back to their defaults.
If youâre interested in adding a bit more spunk to your pwned handsetâs Lock screen, then youâll find the FingerLock tweak free of cost in the Packix repository in Cydia or Sileo. The tweak supports all jailbroken iOS 11 and 12 devices.
