Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
Just like almost any other app available in the iOS App Store, the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) app could do with a few improvements. iOS developer Ahmed Bafkir had a keen eye for finding ways to augment the BBM experience, so he launched a new free jailbreak tweak called BBMEasy in Cydia.
After installation, you can visit the BBMEasy preference pane inside of the Settings app and discover all the ways you can customize your BBM app experience.
If you’re sticking to your jailbroken installation of iOS 10, then you already know you’re missing out on the new features that ship with iOS 11. On the other hand, an extensive list of jailbreak tweaks can port several of iOS 11’s most sought-after UIs to most jailbroken iOS 10 devices.
One of the most prominent changes to ship with iOS 11 is the modular Control Center interface, which can be tailored to fit your individual needs. While ControlCenterXI ported a significant amount of this interface to iOS 10 devices previously, an upcoming jailbreak tweak release dubbed Maize by the Creatix Dev Team takes everything to the next level.
It’s been a quite week for the jailbreak community, but amid the recent demo showcasing the first-known jailbreak for the iPhone X, there’s renewed hope that hackers are still working on a tool compatible with iOS 11.

Have you ever wished that Instagram offered a way to save images or videos from your feed directly to your Camera Roll? If yes, then we’re right there with you. Unfortunately, Instagram isn’t likely to add this feature anytime soon.
Jailbreakers, on the other hand, can get this feature up and running from their Instagram app right now with the help of a new free jailbreak tweak called Instagram Down Image by iOS developer Yutao Lan.
Many apps are now following a new trend where taking a screenshot will yield an in-house notification for sharing it. We’ve seen this in apps like Amazon and Spotify, and now Instagram is doing it too.
If you’d like to disable this banner in the Instagram app to keep it from appearing whenever you take a screenshot of someone’s post, then we’d recommend a new jailbreak tweak called ShyInstaShot by iOS developer CydiaGeek.
Although there's been a lot of hype regarding the iPhone X lately, that's not to say that many people aren't still clenching onto their older jailbroken handsets. In fact, one hacker just demonstrated the world's first-known iPhone X jailbreak at the POC2017 event this week.
In this roundup, we'll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia during the past week. As usual, we'll start things off by showcasing our favorites, and then we'll outline all the rest of them afterward.
If you didn’t already know, you could navigate to Settings → General → About on your iPhone or iPad to discover a plethora of statistics about your device. Nevertheless, Apple limits what you can see and do here.

Although it seems like jailbreaks have become few and far in between lately, that’s not to say that hackers don’t still dabble in their exploitational talents every now and again.
Presenting at the POC2017 event in Seoul, South Korea, iOS hacker Liang Chen has demonstrated the first-known jailbreak to date on Apple’s flagship iPhone X handset. A full video showcasing the jailbreak tool and code injection can be seen here.
Because of how frequently I handle jailbreak tweaks on my jailbroken iPhone, I respring my device constantly. While some tweaks have respring buttons baked right into them for convenience, I've found that having a backup method for respringing or invoking Safe Mode on your handset can be particularly advantageous.
A whole host of tweaks in Cydia can help you respring your device in various ways, but one of the latest releases called KeyFunctions by iOS developer AlexK piqued my interest.
The wallpaper is one of the first things you notice every time you use your device, whether you're glancing at the Lock screen to view the time, or accessing the Home screen to launch an app. With that in mind, shouldn’t your wallpaper captivate your interest?
It can be challenging to choose a single wallpaper to use all the time, but with a new free jailbreak tweak called UnsplashWalls by iOS developer ipad_kid, you won't have to. It can keep things exciting by randomizing your iPhone's wallpaper on demand.
Did you know that your iPhone includes the Reduce White Point feature to mitigate eye strain? It can give your eyes a rest from the vibrant colors of your display, but setting it up can be a cumbersome process because it's buried so deeply in iOS' settings.
Enter a new free jailbreak tweak called Reduce White Point Flipswitch by iOS developer Erik E, which aims to make accessing Reduce White Point easier by implementing support for Flipswitch-enabled tweaks.
If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, then you’ve probably heard all about the shiny new Apollo Reddit client for the iOS platform. Designed with love by a former Apple employee, it's almost everything an iOS user could ask for in a Reddit app.
While Apollo is indubitably stunning at first glance, jailbreak developers are already finding ways to enhance the app. Drago, by iOS developer rob311, is the latest of this bloodline of jailbreak tweaks with its sights set on making Apollo even better.
