Add some character to your iPhone’s alert messages with Snell

Jailbreakers who are searching for a unique way to customize their iPhone running iOS 13 will almost certainly want to turn their attention to the likes of a newly released jailbreak tweak called Snell by iOS developer Samg_is_a_Ninja.

Snell allows users to alter and configure the aesthetics of iOS’ alert pop-ups, and as depicted in the series of screenshot examples above, the tweak provides a whole lot more than just colorization, but also the ability to change how the interface looks entirely.

DarkAlertPls makes all iPhone alerts respond to iOS 13’s dark mode

Albeit rare, iOS sometimes displays alerts as opposed to banners. These alerts are designed to appear at the center of the display, usually with a prompt of some sort for the user to respond to.

Unfortunately, even if you’ve configured your iOS 13 handset for dark mode, some of these alerts may still come through as light instead of dark. This is a problem that iOS developer LaughingQuoll aims to fix with a newly released jailbreak tweak called DarkAlertPls.
