Violet makes the Now Playing track’s album art into your handset’s wallpaper & more

Jailbreakers have a lot of reasons to enjoy using their iPhone, perhaps more than those using unmodified handsets.

Best of all, this process happens in real time and supports both the Apple Music and Spotify Music apps.

That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed StorageByName by iOS developer udevs comes into play.
