Backspace+ gives you finer control over backspacing in iOS

I can’t even begin to tell you about the countless times I’ve accidentally backspaced an entire body of text when I only wanted to remove a few words from a sentence. It seems like iOS’ automatic backspace acceleration that kicks in when you tap and hold on the backspace key can get a little too excited at times.

Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called Backspace+ by iOS developer Justin Petkovic provides some relief from this issue and makes text-editing more feasible on iOS devices.

Animate your notification badges with BlinkBadge

If you’re not gluing your eyes to your iPhone all day long, then chances are you unlock your device to a plethora of notification badges from time to time.

On a stock device, the badges sit there and do nothing until you open the app to ackowledge them, but with a new free jailbreak tweak called BlinkBadge by iOS developer NeinZedd9, you can animate them to make things more exciting.

Prevent storage-filling Lock screen screenshot pranks with LSScreenshotLimit

First world problems differ from one person to the next, but having been in a situation before where someone pranked me by grabbing my iPhone and taking several screenshots of the Lock screen to fill up my storage space, I can’t recommend a new free jailbreak tweak called LSScreenshotLimit by iOS developer DGh0st enough.

This tweak helps you avoid issues like the one I described by limiting the number of screenshots that can be taken from the Lock screen at one time. In doing so, you'll also dodge unnecessary frustration and urges to strangle whoever filled your Camera Roll with repetitive screenshots.
