If you’re into jailbreaking iPhones and iPads, then you’ve got a second home here at iDownloadBlog. We not only cover news and jailbreak tweaks all week long relating to this fun hobby and pastime, but we also come at you every Sunday morning with a roundup post just like this one that helps our readers get caught up with everything they may have missed.
One of the things I’ve always liked about jailbreaking is how developers find ways to backport features from newer firmware to older jailbroken firmware. Simple things like this can make even an aging handset seem like a newer one.
There’s no shortage of apps from the App Store that ask you to rate them, and while we understand that iOS app developers are eager to receive good reviews in the App Store, the nagging and persistent pop-ups can be somewhat annoying to the end user.
If you’re unhappy with the search results that the YouTube app serves you when searching for something in particular, such as when looking up how-to videos to get something done in a pinch, then you might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Gonerino by iOS developer Adrian Castro (castdrian).
When I use the YouTube app on my iPhone, I will say that I generally watch videos in full-screen mode around 98% of the time. If you’re like most YouTube users, then you probably do the same thing in order to maximize your viewing experience.
One of the longtime favorite things for jailbreakers to do with their devices’ Home Screens has been rearrange the Home Screen icons outside of the auto-snapping grid that Apple has long imposed on users before the dawn of iOS & iPadOS 18.
A seemingly insignificant part of the iOS experience that jailbreak tweaks have traditionally tried to improve upon is the one tying together the device’s volume and sounds. Fortunately, that remains the case even today, with modern rootless jailbreaks becoming the norm.
The AltStore team took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday to announce version 2.1.3 of the AltStore PAL alternative App Store for iPhone and iPad users residing in the European Union.
Apple knew that iPhone users were starving for new features in the stock Calculator app, which is just one reason why there were so many improvements in iOS 18 following what felt like years’ of neglect. But if you’re on an earlier, perhaps jailbroken firmware, then you might be wondering how you can improve your existing Calculator app without updating.
One of the more significant changes in iOS & iPadOS 18 relates to Control Center’s design and functionality. Right off that bat, putting it side-by-side with an iOS & iPadOS 17 device, you would notice that Control Center on iOS & iPadOS 18 sport a rounder aesthetic.
The iDB team takes its approach to covering iPhone and iPad jailbreaking news very seriously. Things happen fast, so although we cover content throughout the week as it happens, we also like to recap everything each weekend so that people aren’t left behind while information moves forward.
Whenever you’re typing on an iPhone or iPad, whatever app you might be using, the cursor behaves in a certain way – it blinks when you’re sitting idle and not actually typing.
