Jailbreak

Have more fun in phone calls with VoiceChanger X

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 30, 2018

Back in 2013, iOS developer Elias Limneos surprised the jailbreak community when he released one of the world’s first live voice changer jailbreak tweaks for the iPhone. VoiceChanger allowed you to have some fun with your phone calls by adjusting the pitch of your voice in real-time. Unfortunately, it was never updated for iOS 11.

But that all changed this week following the release of VoiceChanger X. Now, you can re-live the same entertainment you may have experienced in 2013 on your pwned iOS 11 handset.
